American Standard Version
At
that time
the disciples came
to
Jesus and
asked
, “
Who then is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ”
In
that hour
came
the disciples unto
Jesus, saying,
Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Jesus
invited
a little child to
stand
among
them .
And
he
called
to
him
a little child ,
and
set
him
in
the
midst
of
them ,
“Truly
I tell
you, ”
He
said
, “unless
you
change
and become like
little children, you
will
never
enter the kingdom of heaven.
and
said,
Verily
I say
unto
you, Except
ye
turn
, and become as
little children, ye
shall
in
no
wise
enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore ,
whoever
humbles
himself like
this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever
therefore shall
humble
himself as
this little child ,
the
same
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever
welcomes
a
little child like
this
in My name welcomes
Me .
And whoso
shall
receive
one
such
little child in my name receiveth
me :
But if
anyone
causes
one of these little ones who
believe in
Me to stumble, it would
be
better
for him to
have
a large
millstone hung
around
his neck and to
be drowned
in the depths
of the sea.
But whoso
shall
cause
one of these little ones that
believe on
me to stumble, it is
profitable
for him that
a great
millstone should
be
hanged
about
his neck ,
and `that'
he
should
be sunk
in the depth
of the sea.
Woe to
the world for
the
causes
of sin.
These
stumbling blocks
must come ,
but woe to the
man through whom they
come
!
Woe unto
the world because
of occasions
of
stumbling !
for
it
must needs
be
that
the
occasions
come ;
but woe to that
man through whom the
occasion
cometh
!
If your
hand or your
foot causes
you
to sin
, cut it off and throw
it away.
It is better
for you
to enter life crippled
or lame
than to
have
two hands and
two feet and
be thrown
into the eternal fire.
And
if thy
hand or thy
foot causeth
thee
to stumble
, cut it off ,
and cast
it from
thee:
it is good
for thee
to enter into
life maimed
or halt,
rather
than having
two hands or
two feet to
be cast
into the eternal fire.
And if your
eye causes
you
to sin
, gouge
it out and throw
it away.
It is better
for you
to enter life with one eye than to
have
two eyes and
be thrown
into the fire
of
hell.
And if thine
eye causeth
thee
to stumble
, pluck
it out ,
and cast
it from
thee:
it is good
for thee
to enter into
life with one eye ,
rather
than having
two eyes to
be cast
into the hell of
fire
.
See that you
do
not look
down
on
any
of these little ones .
For I tell
you that their
angels
in heaven always see
the face of My Father in heaven.
See that ye
despise
not one
of these little ones ;
for I say
unto
you ,
that in heaven their
angels
do
always behold
the face of my Father who
is
in heaven.

`For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.'
What
do
you
think? If a
man has
a hundred sheep and one of them goes
astray, will
he not leave the ninety -
nine on
the
hills
and go out
to
search
for
the one
that is
lost
?
How
think ye
? if any
man have
a hundred sheep ,
and one of them be
gone
astray, doth
he not leave the ninety and
nine ,
and go unto
the mountains,
and
seek
that which
goeth
astray
?
And if he finds
it, truly
I tell
you, he rejoices
more
over that
one
sheep
than over the ninety -
nine that
did
not go
astray.
And if so
be
that
he find
it, verily
I say
unto
you, he rejoiceth
over it
more
than over the ninety and
nine which
have
not gone
astray.
In
the same
way,
your Father in heaven is
not
willing
that any
of these little ones should perish.
Even
so
it
is
not
the will
of
your Father who
is
in heaven ,
that one
of these little ones should perish.
If your
brother sins
against you
, go and confront
him privately.
If he listens
to
you
, you
have
won
your
brother over
.
And
if thy
brother sin
against thee
, go ,
show
him
his
fault
between
thee
and him alone:
if he hear
thee
, thou
hast
gained
thy
brother.
But if he will
not listen
, take one or two others
along
, so
that ‘every
matter
may
be
established
by
the testimony
of two or three witnesses
. ’
But if he hear
`thee'
not, take with
thee
one or two more
, that at
the mouth
of two witnesses
or three every
word
may
be
established
.
If he refuses
to
listen
to them, tell it to
the church .
And if he refuses
to
listen
even
to the church, regard
him as you
would
a
pagan
or
a
tax
collector
.
And
if he refuse
to hear
them, tell it unto
the church :
and if he refuse
to hear
the church also
, let
him be
unto
thee
as the
Gentile
and
the
publican
.
Truly
I tell
you, whatever
you
bind on earth will
be bound in heaven ,
and whatever
you
loose on earth will
be loosed in heaven.
Verily
I say
unto
you, what
things
soever
ye
shall
bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven ;
and what
things
soever
ye
shall
loose on earth shall
be loosed in heaven.
Again ,
I tell
you truly
that if two of you on the
earth agree
about
anything you
ask for
, it will
be done for you
by
My Father in heaven.
Again I say
unto
you ,
that if two of you shall
agree
on earth as
touching
anything that
they
shall
ask, it shall
be done for them
of
my Father who
is
in heaven.
For where two or three gather
together in My name, there am I with
them. ”
For where two or three are
gathered
together in my name, there am I in
the
midst
of
them.
Then Peter
came to
Jesus
and asked
, “
Lord, how many
times
shall I
forgive
my brother who
sins
against me? Up
to
seven times? ”
Then came Peter
and said
to
him
, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin
against me ,
and
I
forgive
him
? until
seven times?
Jesus answered
, “
I tell
you,
not just
seven times ,
but seventy -seven
times !
Jesus saith
unto
him
, I say
not unto
thee,
Until
seven times ;
but ,
Until
seventy times seven.
Because
of
this,
the kingdom of heaven is
like
a king who wanted
to
settle
accounts
with his servants.
Therefore
is
the kingdom of heaven likened
unto
a certain
king ,
who would
make
a
reckoning
with his servants.
As
he began
the
settlements
, a
debtor
was brought to
him owing
ten thousand talents.
And
when
he had
begun
to
reckon
, one
was brought unto
him ,
that
owed
him
ten thousand talents.
Since
the
man
was
unable
to pay, the
master
ordered
that
he
be sold to
pay
his
debt
, along
with
his wife and children and everything
he owned
.
But
forasmuch
as
he
had
not
`wherewith'
to pay, his
lord
commanded
him
to
be sold, and
his wife ,
and children ,
and all
that
he had,
and
payment
to
be
made
.
Then
the servant fell on
his
knees
before
him .
‘
Have patience with me, ’
he
begged,
‘
and I will pay back
everything
. ’
The servant therefore
fell down
and
worshipped
him ,
saying,
Lord,
have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all
.
His
master
had
compassion on
him
, forgave
his
debt
, and released
him.
And
the
lord
of
that
servant,
being
moved
with
compassion, released
him
, and forgave
him the
debt
.
But when
that servant went out, he
found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii.
He grabbed
him and began
to
choke
him, saying, ‘
Pay back
what you
owe
me!’
But that servant went out, and
found one of his fellow -
servants ,
who owed him a hundred shillings:
and
he laid
hold
on
him ,
and took
`
him '
by
the
throat
, saying, Pay what thou
owest.
So his fellow servant fell down and begged
him, ‘
Have patience with me, and I will pay you
back
. ’
So his fellow -
servant fell down and besought
him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
.
But
he
refused.
Instead,
he went and had
the
man
thrown
into prison until
he could
pay his
debt
.
And
he would
not:
but
went and cast
him
into prison ,
till
he should
pay that
which
was
due
.
When his fellow servants saw what had
happened
, they were greatly
distressed
, and they
went
and recounted
all
of
this
to
their master
.
So
when his fellow -
servants saw what was
done
, they were exceeding
sorry
, and came
and told
unto
their lord
all
that
was
done
.
Then the
master
summoned
him and declared
, ‘You
wicked servant !
I forgave all your
debt because you
begged
me .
Then his
lord
called
him unto
him,
and saith
to
him
, Thou
wicked servant ,
I forgave thee
all that
debt ,
because thou
besoughtest
me :
Shouldn’t
you
have had mercy on your
fellow servant, just
as I had on you
? ’
shouldest
not
thou
also
have had mercy on thy
fellow -
servant, even
as I had mercy
on thee
?
In
anger
his master
turned
him over
to the jailers
to
be
tortured
, until
he should repay
all that he
owed
.
And
his lord
was
wroth,
and
delivered
him to the tormentors
, till
he should pay
all that was
due
.
That
is
how
My heavenly Father will
treat
each
of
you
unless
you forgive your
brother from your heart
. ”
So
shall
also
my heavenly Father do
unto
you ,
if
ye
forgive not
every
one
his
brother from your hearts
.
