1 At * g1722 the same * g1565 time * g5610 came * g4334 g5656 the disciples * g3101 unto Jesus * g2424, saying * g3004 g5723, Who * g5101 * g686 is * g2076 g5748 the greatest * g3187 in * g1722 the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772?
2 And * g2532 Jesus * g2424 called * g4341 a little child * g3813 unto him * g4341 g5666, and set * g2476 g5656 him * g846 in * g1722 the midst * g3319 of them * g846,
3 And * g2532 said * g2036 g5627, Verily * g281 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, Except * g3362 ye be converted * g4762 g5652, and * g2532 become * g1096 g5638 as * g5613 little children * g3813, ye shall * g1525 not * g3364 enter * g1525 g5632 into * g1519 the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772.
4 Whosoever * g3748 therefore * g3767 shall humble * g5013 g5661 himself * g1438 as * g5613 this * g5124 little child * g3813, the same * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 greatest * g3187 in * g1722 the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772.
5 And * g2532 whoso * g3739 * g1437 shall receive * g1209 g5667 one * g1520 such * g5108 little child * g3813 in * g1909 my * g3450 name * g3686 receiveth * g1209 g5736 me * g1691.
6 But * g1161 whoso * g3739 * g302 shall offend * g4624 g5661 one * g1520 of these * g5130 little ones * g3398 which * g3588 believe * g4100 g5723 in * g1519 me * g1691, it were better * g4851 g5719 for him * g846 that * g2443 a millstone * g3458 * g3684 were hanged * g2910 g5686 about * g1909 his * g846 neck * g5137, and * g2532 that he were drowned * g2670 g5686 in * g1722 the depth * g3989 of the sea * g2281.
7 Woe * g3759 unto the world * g2889 because of * g575 offences * g4625! for * g1063 it must needs * g318 be * g2076 g5748 that offences * g4625 come * g2064 g5629; but * g4133 woe * g3759 to that man * g444 by * g1565 whom * g1223 * g3739 the offence * g4625 cometh * g2064 g5736!
8 Wherefore * g1161 if * g1487 thy * g4675 hand * g5495 or * g2228 thy * g4675 foot * g4228 offend thee * g4624 g5719, cut * g1581 them * g846 off * g1581 g5657, and * g2532 cast * g906 g5628 them from * g575 thee * g4571 * g4675: it is * g2076 g5748 better * g2570 for thee * g4671 to enter into * g1525 g5629 * g1519 life * g2222 halt * g5560 or * g2228 maimed * g2948, rather than * g2228 having * g2192 g5723 two * g1417 hands * g5495 or * g2228 two * g1417 feet * g4228 to be cast * g906 g5683 into * g1519 everlasting * g166 fire * g4442.
9 And * g2532 if * g1487 thine * g4675 eye * g3788 offend * g4624 g5719 thee * g4571, pluck * g1807 it * g846 out * g1807 g5628, and * g2532 cast * g906 g5628 it from * g575 thee * g4675: it is * g2076 g5748 better * g2570 for thee * g4671 to enter * g1525 g5629 into * g1519 life * g2222 with one eye * g3442, rather than * g2228 having * g2192 g5723 two * g1417 eyes * g3788 to be cast * g906 g5683 into * g1519 hell * g1067 fire * g4442.
10 Take heed * g3708 g5720 that ye despise * g2706 g5661 not * g3361 one * g1520 of these * g5130 little ones * g3398; for * g1063 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, That * g3754 in * g1722 heaven * g3772 their * g846 angels * g32 do always * g1223 * g3956 behold * g991 g5719 the face * g4383 of my * g3450 Father * g3962 which * g3588 is in * g1722 heaven * g3772.
11 For * g1063 the Son * g5207 of man * g444 is come * g2064 g5627 to save * g4982 g5658 that which * g3588 was lost * g622 g5756.
12 How * g5101 think * g1380 g5719 ye * g5213? if * g1437 * g5100 a man * g444 have * g1096 g5638 an hundred * g1540 sheep * g4263, and * g2532 one * g1520 of * g1537 them * g846 be gone astray * g4105 g5686, doth he * g863 not * g3780 leave * g863 g5631 the ninety and nine * g1768, and goeth * g4198 g5679 into * g1909 the mountains * g3735, and seeketh * g2212 g5719 that which * g3588 is gone astray * g4105 g5746?
13 And * g2532 if so * g1437 be * g1096 g5638 that he find * g2147 g5629 it * g846, verily * g281 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213 * g3754, he rejoiceth * g5463 g5719 more * g3123 of * g1909 that * g846 sheep , than * g2228 of * g1909 the ninety and nine * g1768 which * g3588 went * g4105 not * g3361 astray * g4105 g5772.
14 Even so * g3779 it is * g2076 g5748 not * g3756 the will * g2307 of * g1715 your * g5216 Father * g3962 which * g3588 is in * g1722 heaven * g3772, that * g2443 one * g1520 of these * g5130 little ones * g3398 should perish * g622 g5643.
15 Moreover * g1161 if * g1437 thy * g4675 brother * g80 shall trespass * g264 g5661 against * g1519 thee * g4571, go * g5217 g5720 and * g2532 tell * g1651 him * g846 his fault * g1651 g5657 between * g3342 thee * g4675 and * g2532 him * g846 alone * g3441: if * g1437 he shall hear * g191 g5661 thee * g4675, thou hast gained * g2770 g5656 thy * g4675 brother * g80.
16 But * g1161 if * g3362 he will * g191 not * g3362 hear * g191 g5661 thee, then take * g3880 g5628 with * g3326 thee * g4675 one * g1520 or * g2228 two * g1417 more * g2089, that * g2443 in * g1909 the mouth * g4750 of two * g1417 or * g2228 three * g5140 witnesses * g3144 every * g3956 word * g4487 may be established * g2476 g5686.
17 And * g1161 if * g1437 he shall neglect to hear * g3878 g5661 them * g846, tell * g2036 g5628 it unto the church * g1577: but * g1161 * g2532 if * g1437 he neglect to hear * g3878 g5661 the church * g1577, let him be * g2077 g5749 unto thee * g4671 as g5618 an heathen man * g1482 and * g2532 a publican * g5057.
18 Verily * g281 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, Whatsoever * g3745 * g1437 ye shall bind * g1210 g5661 on * g1909 earth * g1093 shall be * g2071 g5704 bound * g1210 g5772 in * g1722 heaven * g3772: and * g2532 whatsoever * g3745 * g1437 ye shall loose * g3089 g5661 on * g1909 earth * g1093 shall be * g2071 g5704 loosed * g3089 g5772 in * g1722 heaven * g3772.
19 Again * g3825 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, That * g3754 if * g1437 two * g1417 of you * g5216 shall agree * g4856 g5661 on * g1909 earth * g1093 as touching * g4012 any * g3956 thing * g4229 that * g3739 * g1437 they shall ask * g154 g5672, it shall be done * g1096 g5695 for them * g846 of * g3844 my * g3450 Father * g3962 which * g3588 is in * g1722 heaven * g3772.
20 For * g1063 where * g3757 two * g1417 or * g2228 three * g5140 are * g1526 g5748 gathered together * g4863 g5772 in * g1519 my * g1699 name * g3686, there * g1563 am I * g1510 g5748 in * g1722 the midst * g3319 of them * g846.
21 Then * g5119 came * g4334 g5631 Peter * g4074 to him * g846, and said * g2036 g5627, Lord * g2962, how oft * g4212 shall my * g3450 brother * g80 sin * g264 g5692 against * g1519 me * g1691, and * g2532 I forgive * g863 g5692 him * g846? till * g2193 seven times * g2034?
22 Jesus * g2424 saith * g3004 g5719 unto him * g846, I say * g3004 g5719 not * g3756 unto thee * g4671, Until * g2193 seven times * g2034: but * g235, Until * g2193 seventy times * g1441 seven * g2033.
23 Therefore * g1223 * g5124 is the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772 likened * g3666 g5681 unto a certain * g444 king * g935, which * g3739 would * g2309 g5656 take * g4868 g5658 account * g3056 of * g3326 his * g846 servants * g1401.
24 And * g1161 when he * g846 had begun * g756 g5671 to reckon * g4868 g5721, one * g1520 was brought * g4374 g5681 unto him * g846, which owed * g3781 him * g846 ten thousand * g3463 talents * g5007. talents: a talent is seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is pounds shillings
25 But forasmuch as * g1161 he * g846 had * g2192 g5723 not * g3361 to pay * g591 g5629, his * g846 lord * g2962 commanded * g2753 g5656 him * g846 to be sold * g4097 g5683, and * g2532 his * g846 wife * g1135, and * g2532 children * g5043, and * g2532 all * g3956 that * g3745 he had * g2192 g5707, and * g2532 payment to be made * g591 g5683.
26 The servant * g1401 therefore * g3767 fell down * g4098 g5631, and worshipped * g4352 g5707 him * g846, saying * g3004 g5723, Lord * g2962, have patience * g3114 g5657 with * g1909 me * g1698, and * g2532 I will pay * g591 g5692 thee * g4671 all * g3956. worshipped him: or, besought him
27 Then * g1161 the lord * g2962 of that * g1565 servant * g1401 was moved with compassion * g4697 g5679, and loosed * g630 g5656 him * g846, and * g2532 forgave * g863 g5656 him * g846 the debt * g1156.
28 But * g1161 the same * g1565 servant * g1401 went out * g1831 g5631, and found * g2147 g5627 one * g1520 of his * g846 fellowservants * g4889, which * g3739 owed * g3784 g5707 him * g846 an hundred * g1540 pence * g1220: and * g2532 he laid hands * g2902 g5660 on him * g846, and took him by the throat * g4155 g5707, saying * g3004 g5723, Pay * g591 g5628 me * g3427 that * g3748 thou owest * g3784 g5719. pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents
29 And * g3767 his * g846 fellowservant * g4889 fell down * g4098 g5631 at * g1519 his * g846 feet * g4228, and besought * g3870 g5707 him * g846, saying * g3004 g5723, Have patience * g3114 g5657 with * g1909 me * g1698, and * g2532 I will pay * g591 g5692 thee * g4671 all * g3956.
30 And * g1161 he would * g2309 g5707 not * g3756: but * g235 went * g565 g5631 and cast * g906 g5627 him * g846 into * g1519 prison * g5438, till * g2193 * g3739 he should pay * g591 g5632 the debt * g3784 g5746.
31 So * g1161 when his * g846 fellowservants * g4889 saw * g1492 g5631 what was done * g1096 g5637, they were very * g4970 sorry * g3076 g5681, and * g2532 came * g2064 g5631 and told * g1285 g5656 unto their * g846 lord * g2962 all * g3956 that was done * g1096 g5637.
32 Then * g5119 his * g846 lord * g2962, after that he had called * g4341 g5666 him * g846, said * g3004 g5719 unto him * g846, O thou wicked * g4190 servant * g1401, I forgave * g863 g5656 thee * g4671 all * g3956 that * g1565 debt * g3782, because * g1893 thou desiredst * g3870 g5656 me * g3165:
33 Shouldest * g1163 g5713 not * g3756 thou * g4571 also * g2532 have had compassion * g1653 g5658 on thy * g4675 fellowservant * g4889, even * g2532 as * g5613 I * g1473 had pity * g1653 g5656 on thee * g4571?
34 And * g2532 his * g846 lord * g2962 was wroth * g3710 g5685, and delivered * g3860 g5656 him * g846 to the tormentors * g930, till * g2193 * g3739 he should pay * g591 g5632 all * g3956 that was due * g3784 g5746 unto him * g846.
