Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 018
018:001
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
midst of them
018:002
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
018:003
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
018:004
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
receiveth me
018:005
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
018:006
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
018:007
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
018:008
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
018:009
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
018:010
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost
018:011
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
018:012
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
018:013
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish
018:014
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
018:015
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
018:016
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
018:017
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
018:018
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
018:019
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there
am I in the midst of them
018:020
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times
018:021
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
but, Until seventy times seven
018:022
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
king, which would take account of his servants
018:023
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents
018:024
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
018:025
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all
018:026
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt
018:027
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
018:028
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all
018:029
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt
018:030
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done
018:031
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
018:032
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee
018:033
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due unto him
018:034
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
trespasses
