Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
At that hour
came
the disciples near
to Jesus ,
saying
, `
Who ,
now,
is greater
in the reign
of the
heavens
? '
At that time
the disciples came
to Jesus and
asked
, “
Who then
is the
greatest
in the kingdom
of heaven
? ”
And
Jesus having
called
near
a child ,
did
set
him
in
the
midst
of
them ,
Jesus invited
a little
child to
stand
among
them .
and
said,
`Verily
I say
to
you, if
ye
may
not
be
turned
and become as
the
children, ye
may
not
enter into
the reign
of the
heavens;
“Truly
I tell
you, ”
He
said,
“unless
you
change
and become like
little
children, you
will
never
enter the kingdom
of heaven.
whoever then
may
humble
himself as
this child ,
he
is the greater
in the reign
of the
heavens
.
Therefore,
whoever humbles
himself like
this little
child is the greatest
in the kingdom
of heaven
.
`
And he
who
may
receive
one
such
child in my name ,
doth
receive
me ,
And whoever
welcomes
a
little
child like
this
in My name welcomes
Me .
and
whoever
may
cause
to
stumble
one of those
little ones who are
believing
in me, it is
better for him that
a weighty
millstone may
be
hanged
upon
his neck ,
and he
may
be sunk
in the depth
of the sea.
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.
`Wo
to the world from
the
stumbling-blocks!
for there
is
a
necessity
for
the stumbling -
blocks to
come, but wo
to that
man through whom the
stumbling-block
doth
come!
Woe
to the world for the causes
of
sin.
These
stumbling blocks must
come, but woe
to the
man through whom they
come!
`And
if thy
hand or thy
foot doth
cause
thee
to stumble
, cut them
off and cast
from
thee;
it is good
for thee
to enter into
the
life lame
or maimed,
rather
than having
two hands or
two feet ,
to
be cast
to
the fire the
age-during
.
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 thine
eye doth
cause
thee
to stumble
, pluck
it out and cast
from
thee;
it is good
for thee
one-eyed
to enter into
the
life ,
rather
than having
two eyes to
be cast
to
the
gehenna
of
the 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
.
`Beware!
--
ye
may
not despise
one
of these little ones ,
for I say
to
you ,
that their messengers
in the
heavens
do
always behold
the face of my Father who
is
in the
heavens,
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.
for the Son of Man did come to save the lost.

`
What think ye
? if a man may
have
an
hundred sheep ,
and there
may
go
astray
one of them, doth
he not --
having
left
the ninety-nine ,
having
gone
on the mountains
--
seek
that which
is gone
astray
?
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
?
and if it
may
come
to
pass
that
he doth
find
it, verily
I say
to
you, that
he doth
rejoice
over
it
more than over the ninety-nine that have
not 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 .
so
it
is
not
will
in presence
of
your Father who
is
in the
heavens,
that one
of these little ones may
perish.
In the
same
way,
your Father in heaven
is
not
willing
that any
of these little ones should
perish.
`And
if thy
brother may
sin
against thee
, go and show
him
his
fault
between
thee
and
him alone,
if he may
hear
thee
, thou
didst
gain
thy
brother ;
If your
brother sins
against you
, go and confront
him privately.
If he listens
to
you
, you
have
won
your
brother over.
and
if he may
not hear
, take with
thee
yet
one or two, that by the mouth
of two witnesses
or three every
word
may
stand
.
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
. ’
`And
if he may
not
hear
them, say
`
it '
to the assembly,
and if also
the
assembly
he may
not
hear
, let
him be
to
thee
as the
heathen
man
and
the
tax -gatherer
.
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
.
`Verily
I say
to
you, Whatever things
ye
may
bind upon
the
earth shall
be having
been
bound in the
heavens
, and whatever things
ye
may
loose on the
earth shall
be having
been
loosed in the
heavens
.
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
.
`
Again, I say
to
you ,
that ,
if two of you may
agree
on the earth concerning
anything ,
whatever
they
may
ask --
it shall
be done to
them
from
my Father who
is
in the
heavens,
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.
for where there
are
two or three gathered
together --
to
my name, there am I in
the
midst
of
them. '
For where two or three gather
together in
My name, there am I with
them. ”
Then Peter having
come
near
to him,
said
, `Sir
, how often
shall my brother sin
against me ,
and
I
forgive
him
--
till
seven times? '
Then Peter came
to Jesus
and
asked
, “Lord
, how many
times
shall I
forgive
my brother who
sins
against me ?
Up
to
seven times? ”
Jesus saith
to
him
, `
I do
not say
to
thee
till
seven times, but till
seventy times
seven .
Jesus answered
, “
I tell
you,
not just
seven times, but seventy -
seven times!
`
Because of this was
the reign
of the
heavens
likened
to
a
man,
a king ,
who did
will
to take
reckoning
with his servants ,
Because of this ,
the kingdom
of heaven
is
like
a king who wanted
to settle
accounts
with his servants .
and
he having
begun
to
take
account
, there
was brought near
to him one
debtor
of
a
myriad
of
talents ,
As
he began
the
settlements
, a
debtor
was brought to him owing
ten
thousand
talents .
and
he
having
nothing
to pay, his
lord
did
command
him
to
be sold, and
his wife ,
and the
children ,
and all,
whatever
he had,
and
payment
to
be
made
.
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
.
The servant then,
having
fallen
down,
was
bowing
to
him ,
saying,
Sir,
have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all;
Then
the servant fell
on
his
knees
before
him .
‘
Have patience with me, ’
he
begged,
‘
and I will pay back
everything.’
and
the
lord
of
that
servant
having
been
moved
with
compassion did
release
him, and
the
debt
he
forgave him.
His
master
had
compassion on
him, forgave his
debt,
and
released
him.
`And,
that servant having
come
forth
, found one of his fellow -
servants who was
owing
him an
hundred denaries,
and
having
laid
hold,
he took
him by
the
throat
, saying, Pay me that
which
thou
owest.
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 !’
His fellow -
servant then,
having
fallen
down at
his
feet,
was
calling
on
him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all;
So
his fellow servant fell
down and
begged
him, ‘
Have patience with me, and I will pay you
back.’
and
he
would
not,
but having
gone
away
, he cast
him
into prison ,
till
he might
pay that
which
was
owing
.
But he
refused.
Instead
, he went
and
had
the
man
thrown
into prison until
he could
pay his
debt
.
`And
his fellow -
servants having
seen
the
things
that
were
done
, were grieved
exceedingly
, and having
come,
shewed
fully
to their lord
all
the
things
that
were
done;
When
his fellow servants saw
what
had
happened
, they
were greatly
distressed
, and they
went
and
recounted
all
of
this
to their master.
then having
called
him,
his
lord
saith
to
him, Evil
servant! all that
debt I
did
forgive
thee,
seeing
thou
didst
call
upon
me ,
Then the
master
summoned
him and
declared
, ‘You
wicked
servant! I
forgave
all your
debt because
you
begged
me .
did
it
not
behove
also
thee
to
have dealt
kindly
with
thy
fellow -
servant, as I also
dealt
kindly
with
thee
?
Shouldn’t
you
have had
mercy
on
your
fellow servant, just
as I had
on
you
? ’
`And
having
been
wroth,
his lord
delivered
him to the inquisitors
, till
he might
pay
all that was
owing
to
him;
In
anger
his master
turned
him over
to the jailers
to
be
tortured
, until
he should
repay
all that he
owed.
so
also
my heavenly Father will do
to
you ,
if
ye
may
not
forgive each
one
his
brother from your hearts
their
trespasses
. '
That
is
how
My heavenly Father will treat
each
of
you unless
you
forgive your
brother from your heart
. ”
