41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, ³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. ⁶But 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.

⁷Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! ⁸Wherefore 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. ⁹And 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. ¹⁰Take 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. ¹¹For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. ¹²How 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? ¹³And 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. ¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁵Moreover 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. ¹⁶But 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. ¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸Verily 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. ¹⁹Again 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. ²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

²¹Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? ²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. ²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But 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. ²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸But 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. ²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. ³²Then 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: ³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? ³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. ³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.(KJV)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, ³And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And whoso shall receive 1 such little child in my name receiveth me. ⁶But whoso shall offend 1 of these little 1s 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.

⁷Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! ⁸Wherefore 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 2 hands or 2 feet to be cast into everlasting fire. ⁹And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with 1 eye, rather than having 2 eyes to be cast into hell fire. ¹⁰Take heed that ye despise not 1 of these little 1s; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. ¹¹For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. ¹²How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and 1 of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the 99, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? ¹³And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the 99 which went not astray. ¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that 1 of these little 1s should perish.

¹⁵Moreover 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. ¹⁶But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee 1 or 2 more, that in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸Verily 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. ¹⁹Again I say unto you, That if 2 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. ²⁰For where 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

²¹Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till 7 times? ²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until 7 times: but, Until 70 times 7.

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. ²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, 1 was brought unto him, which owed him 10000 talents. ²⁵But 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. ²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸But the same servant went out, and found 1 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. ²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. ³²Then 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: ³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? ³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. ³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every 1 his brother their trespasses.(KJV/NC)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, ³and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me: ⁶But whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

⁷Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh! ⁸And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. ⁹And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire. ¹⁰See 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 who is in heaven. ¹¹For the Son of man came to save that which was lost. ¹²How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? ¹³And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. ¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁵And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. ¹⁶But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established. ¹⁷And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. ¹⁸Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ¹⁹Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

²¹Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? ²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. ²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. ²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ²⁷And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. ²⁹So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. ³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. ³¹So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. ³²Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: ³³shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? ³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. ³⁵So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.(ASV)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹AT that very hour the disciples came up to Jesus and said, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²So Jesus called a little boy, and made him to stand up in the midst of them, ³And he said, Truly I say to you, Unless you change and become like little boys, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whoever therefore will humble himself like this little boy, shall be great in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And he who will welcome one like this little boy, in my name, welcomes me. ⁶And whoever misleads one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that an ass' millstone were hanged on his neck and he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

⁷¶ Woe to the world because of offences! Offences are bound to come; but woe to the man by whose hand the offences come! ⁸If your hand or your foot offends you, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is much better for you to go through life lamed or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, and fall into the everlasting fire. ⁹And if your eye offends you, remove it and throw it away from you; it is better for you to go through life with one eye, rather than having two eyes and fall into the gehenna of fire. ¹⁰See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, their angels always see the face of my Father in heaven. ¹¹For the Son of man has come to save what was lost. ¹²What do you think? If a man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost, would he not leave the ninety and nine on the mountain, and go in search of the one which is lost? ¹³And if he should find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine which were not lost. ¹⁴Even so, your Father in heaven does not want one of these little ones to be lost.

¹⁵¶ Now then, if your brother is at fault with you, go and rebuke him alone; if he listens to you, then you have won your brother. ¹⁶But if he will not listen to you, take one or two with you, because at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word is sustained. ¹⁷And if he will not listen to them, tell the congregation; and if he will not listen to the congregation, then regard him as a publican and a heathen. ¹⁸Truly I say to you, Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven. ¹⁹Again I say to you, that if two of you are worthy on earth, anything that they would ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ²⁰For wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.

²¹¶ Then Peter came up and said to him, My Lord, if my brother is at fault with me, how many times should I forgive him? up to seven times? ²²Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

²³¶ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who wanted to take an accounting from his servants. ²⁴And when he began to take the accounting, they brought to him one who owed ten thousand talents. ²⁵And as he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children, and all that he had, so that he could pay. ²⁶The servant then fell down, worshipped him, and said, My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything. ²⁷Then the master of that servant had pity, so he released him, and cancelled his debt. ²⁸But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred cents; and he seized him, and tried to choke him, saying to him, Give me what you owe me. ²⁹So his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and begged him and said, Have patience with me, and I will pay you. ³⁰But he was not willing; and he went and had him put into prison, until he should pay him what he owed him. ³¹When their fellow-servants saw what had happened, they were very sorry, and they came and informed their master of everything that had happened. ³²Then his master called him and said to him, O wicked servant, I cancelled all your debt because you begged me. ³³Was it not right for you to have mercy on your fellow-servant, just as I had mercy on you? ³⁴So his master was angry, and delivered him to the scourgers, until he should pay everything he owed him. ³⁵So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not forgive each man his brother's fault from your heart. (LAM)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" ²And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, ³and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁵"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; ⁶but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

⁷"Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes! ⁸And 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 maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. ⁹And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.

¹⁰"See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. ¹¹What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? ¹²And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. ¹³So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁴"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁵But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. ¹⁶If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. ¹⁷Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ¹⁸Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ¹⁹For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

²⁰Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" ²¹Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

²²"Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. ²³When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; ²⁴and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁵So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, `Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' <sup>26</sup>And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. <sup>27</sup>But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, `Pay what you owe.' ²⁸So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' <sup>29</sup>He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. <sup>30</sup>When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. <sup>31</sup>Then his lord summoned him and said to him, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; ³²and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' ³³And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt. ³⁴So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

²He called a little child and had him stand among them. ³And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁵"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. ⁶But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, 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.

⁷"Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! ⁸If your hand or your foot causes you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. ⁹And 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.

¹⁰"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. ¹¹

¹²"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? ¹³And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. ¹⁴In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.

¹⁵"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. ¹⁶But 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.' ¹⁷If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

¹⁸"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

²¹Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"

²²Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

²³"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. ²⁵Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

²⁶"The servant fell on his knees before him. `Be patient with me,' he begged, `and I will pay back everything.' ²⁷The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

²⁸"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. `Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.

²⁹"His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, `Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

³⁰"But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. ³¹When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

³²"Then the master called the servant in. `You wicked servant,' he said, `I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. ³³Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' ³⁴In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

³⁵"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."(NIV)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, 'Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?'

²Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them, ³and said, 'Most assuredly I tell you, unless you_P turn, and become as little children, you_P will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁴Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁵Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, ⁶but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

⁷'Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! ⁸If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. ⁹If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. ¹⁰See that you_P don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. ¹¹For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.

¹²'What do you_P think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? ¹³If he finds it, most assuredly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. ¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁵'If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. ¹⁶But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. ¹⁷If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector. ¹⁸Most assuredly I tell you, whatever things you_P will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever things you_P will release on earth will be released in heaven. ¹⁹Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.'

²¹Then Peter came and said to him, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?'

²²Jesus said to him, 'I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. ²³Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. ²⁴When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!' ²⁷The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁸'But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'

²⁹'So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!' ³⁰He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due. ³¹So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done. ³²Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me. ³³Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?' ³⁴His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him. ³⁵So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you_P don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.'(WEB)

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, 'Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?'

²Yeshua called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them, ³and said, 'Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁴Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁵Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, ⁶but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

²²Yeshua said to him, 'I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. ²³Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. ²⁴When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!' ²⁷The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

41 Matthew 18:1-35 ¹AT that very hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²So Jesus called a little boy, and made him stand in the middle of them. ³And he said, Truly I say to you, Unless you change and become like little boys, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whoever therefore will humble himself like this little boy, will be great in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵And he who will welcome one like this little boy, in my name, welcomes me. ⁶And whoever misleads one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for him that a donkey's millstone were hung on his neck and he were sunk in the depths of the sea.

⁷Woe to the world because of offences. Offences are bound to come; but woe to the man by whose hand the offences come. ⁸If your hand or your foot offends you, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is much better for you to go through life lamed or maimed, rather than have 2 hands or 2 feet, and fall into the everlasting fire. ⁹And if your eye offends you, remove it and throw it from you; it is better for you to go through life with one eye, rather than have 2 eyes and fall into the gehenna of fire.

¹⁰See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, their angels always see the face of my Father in heaven. ¹¹For the Son of man has come to save what was lost. ¹²What do you think? If a man should have 100 sheep, and 1 of them is lost, would he not leave the 99 on the mountain, and go in search of the 1 which is lost? ¹³And if he should find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than the 99 which were not lost. ¹⁴Even so, your Father in heaven does not want 1 of these little ones to be lost.

¹⁵Now then, if your brother is at fault with you, go and rebuke him alone. If he listens to you, then you have won your brother. ¹⁶But if he will not listen to you, take 1 or 2 with you, because at the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses every word is sustained. ¹⁷If he will not listen to them, tell the congregation. If he will not listen to the congregation, then regard him as a tax collector and a heathen.

¹⁸Truly I say to you, Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven. ¹⁹Again I say to you, that if 2 of you are worthy on earth, anything that they would ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ²⁰For wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, I am there among them.

²¹Then Peter came up and said to him, My Lord, if my brother is at fault with me, how many times should I forgive him, up to 7 times? ²²Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to 7 times, but up to 70 times 7. ²³Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who wanted to take an accounting from his servants. ²⁴And when he began to take the accounting, they brought to him one who owed 10,000 talents. ²⁵Since he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children, and all that he had, so that he could pay. ²⁶The servant then fell down, worshiped him, and said, My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything. ²⁷Then the master of that servant had pity, so he released him, and cancelled his debt. ²⁸But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him 100 cents; and he seized him, and tried to choke him, saying to him, Give me what you owe me. ²⁹So his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him and said, Have patience with me, and I will pay you. ³⁰But he was not willing; and he went and had him put into prison, until he should pay what he owed him. ³¹When their fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very sorry, and they came and informed their master of everything that had happened. ³²Then his master called him and said to him, Wicked servant, I cancelled all your debt because you begged me. ³³Was it not right for you to have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you? ³⁴So his master was angry, and delivered him to the scourgers, until he should pay everything he owed him. ³⁵So will my Father in heaven do to you, if each of you do not forgive his brother's fault from your heart.
