King James Version
At that
time the disciples came
to
Jesus and
asked
, “
Who then
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ”
At the
same
time came
the disciples unto
Jesus, saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Jesus invited
a little child to
stand
among
them .
And
Jesus called
a little child unto
him,
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
be
converted
, and become as
little children, ye
shall
not
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
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
offend
one of these little ones which
believe in me, it were
better for him that
a millstone were
hanged
about
his neck ,
and that
he
were
drowned 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 offences!
for
it
must needs
be
that
offences
come ;
but woe to that
man by
whom the
offence
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.
Wherefore
if thy
hand or thy
foot offend
thee
, cut them
off ,
and cast
them
from
thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into
life halt
or maimed,
rather
than having
two hands or
two feet to
be cast
into everlasting
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 offend
thee
, pluck
it out ,
and cast
it from
thee:
it is better for thee
to enter into
life with one eye ,
rather
than having
two eyes to
be cast
into hell 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.
Take
heed
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 which
is
in heaven.

For the Son of man is come 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 a man have
an
hundred sheep ,
and one of them be
gone
astray, doth
he not leave the ninety and
nine ,
and goeth
into
the mountains,
and
seeketh
that which
is gone
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
more of
that sheep ,
than of
the ninety and
nine which
went
not 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 which
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
.
Moreover
if thy
brother shall
trespass
against thee
, go and tell
him his
fault
between
thee
and
him
alone:
if he shall
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 will not hear
thee
, then
take with
thee
one or two more
, that in
the mouth
of two or three witnesses 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 shall
neglect
to hear
them, tell it unto
the church :
but
if he neglect
to hear
the church, let
him be
unto
thee
as an
heathen
man
and
a 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, Whatsoever
ye
shall
bind on earth shall
be bound in heaven :
and whatsoever
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
any
thing
that
they
shall
ask, it shall
be done for them
of
my Father which
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
to him,
and said
, Lord, how oft
shall my brother sin
against me ,
and
I
forgive
him
? till
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 ,
which
would
take
account
of
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 ,
which
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
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.
Then
the
lord
of
that
servant
was
moved
with
compassion, and
loosed
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 the
same
servant went out, and
found one of his fellowservants,
which
owed him an
hundred pence:
and
he laid
hands
on
him ,
and took
him by
the
throat
, saying, Pay me that
thou
owest.
So
his fellow
servant
fell down and begged
him, ‘
Have patience with me, and I will pay you
back
. ’
And
his fellowservant
fell down at
his
feet,
and besought
him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all
.
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 the
debt.
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 fellowservants
saw what was
done
, they were very
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,
after
that
he
had
called
him, said
unto
him,
O
thou
wicked servant ,
I forgave thee
all that
debt ,
because thou
desiredst
me :
Shouldn’t
you
have had mercy
on your
fellow
servant
, just
as I had on you
? ’
Shouldest
not
thou
also
have had compassion
on thy
fellowservant
, even
as I had pity
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
unto
him
.
That
is
how
My heavenly Father will
treat
each
of
you
unless
you forgive
your
brother
from your heart
. ”
So
likewise
shall
my heavenly Father do
also
unto
you ,
if
ye
from your hearts
forgive
not
every
one
his
brother
their
trespasses
.
