At the same
time
came
the disciples
unto Jesus
, saying
, Who
is
the greatest
in
the kingdom
of heaven
?
And Jesus
called
a little child
unto him
, and set
him
in
the midst
of them
,
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
.
Whosoever therefore
shall humble
himself
as
this
little child
, the same
is
greatest
in
the kingdom
of heaven
.
And whoso
shall receive
one
such
little child
in
my
name
receiveth
me
.
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 unto the world
because of
offences
! for
it must needs
be
that offences
come
; but
woe
to that man
by
whom
the offence
cometh
!
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
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
.
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
.
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 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
.
Even so it is
not
the will
of
your
Father
which
is in
heaven
, that
one
of these
little ones
should perish
.
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
hear
thee, then take
with
thee
one
or
two
more
, that
in
the mouth
of two
or
three
witnesses
every
word
may be established
.
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
.
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 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
are
gathered together
in
my
name
, there
am I
in
the midst
of them
.
Then came
Peter
to him
, and said
, Lord
, how oft
shall my
brother
sin
against
me
, and
I forgive
him
? till
seven times
?
Jesus saith
unto him
, I say
not
unto thee
, Until
seven times
: but
, Until
seventy times
seven
.
Therefore is the kingdom
of heaven
likened
unto a certain
king
, which
would
take
account
of
his
servants
.
And when he
had begun
to reckon
, one
was brought
unto him
, which owed
him
ten thousand
talents
.
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
.
The servant therefore
fell down
, and worshipped
him
, saying
, Lord
, have patience
with
me
, and
I will pay
thee
all
.
Then the lord
of that
servant
was moved with compassion
, and loosed
him
, and
forgave
him
the debt
.
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
.
And his
fellowservant
fell down
at
his
feet
, and besought
him
, saying
, Have patience
with
me
, and
I will pay
thee
all
.
And he would
not
: but
went
and cast
him
into
prison
, till
he should pay
the debt
.
So when his
fellowservants
saw
what was done
, they were very
sorry
, and
came
and told
unto their
lord
all
that was done
.
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
:
Shouldest not
thou
also
have had compassion
on thy
fellowservant
, even
as
I
had pity
on thee
?
And his
lord
was wroth
, and delivered
him
to the tormentors
, till
he should pay
all
that was due
unto him
.
So likewise shall my
heavenly
Father
do
also
unto you
, if
ye from
your
hearts
forgive
not
every one
his
brother
their
trespasses
.
