* At the same time came (5656 ) the disciples unto Jesus , saying (5723 ), Who is (5748 ) the greatest in the kingdom of heaven ? * And Jesus called a little child unto him (5666 ), and set (5656 ) him in the midst of them , * And said (5627 ), Verily I say (5719 ) unto you , Except ye be converted (5652 ), and become (5638 ) as little children , ye shall not enter (5632 ) into the kingdom of heaven . * Whosoever therefore shall humble (5661 ) himself as this little child , the same is (5748 ) greatest in the kingdom of heaven . * And whoso shall receive (5667 ) one such little child in my name receiveth (5736 ) me . * But whoso shall offend (5661 ) one of these little ones which believe (5723 ) in me , it were better (5719 ) for him that a millstone were hanged (5686 ) about his neck , and that he were drowned (5686 ) in the depth of the sea . * Woe unto the world because of offences ! for it must needs be (5748 ) that offences come (5629 ); but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh (5736 )! * Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee (5719 ), cut them off (5657 ), and cast (5628 ) them from thee : it is (5748 ) better for thee to enter into (5629 ) life halt or maimed , rather than having (5723 ) two hands or two feet to be cast (5683 ) into everlasting fire . * And if thine eye offend (5719 ) thee , pluck it out (5628 ), and cast (5628 ) it from thee : it is (5748 ) better for thee to enter (5629 ) into life with one eye , rather than having (5723 ) two eyes to be cast (5683 ) into hell fire . * Take heed (5720 ) that ye despise (5661 ) not one of these little ones ; for I say (5719 ) unto you , That in heaven their angels do always behold (5719 ) the face of my Father which is in heaven . * For the Son of man is come (5627 ) to save (5658 ) that which was lost (5756 ). * How think (5719 ) ye ? if a man have (5638 ) an hundred sheep , and one of them be gone astray (5686 ), doth he not leave (5631 ) the ninety and nine , and goeth (5679 ) into the mountains , and seeketh (5719 ) that which is gone astray (5746 )? * And if so be (5638 ) that he find (5629 ) it , verily I say (5719 ) unto you , he rejoiceth (5719 ) more of that sheep , than of the ninety and nine which went not astray (5772 ). * Even so it is (5748 ) not the will of your Father which is in heaven , that one of these little ones should perish (5643 ). * Moreover if thy brother shall trespass (5661 ) against thee , go (5720 ) and tell him his fault (5657 ) between thee and him alone : if he shall hear (5661 ) thee , thou hast gained (5656 ) thy brother . * But if he will not hear (5661 ) thee , then take (5628 ) with thee one or two more , that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established (5686 ). * And if he shall neglect to hear (5661 ) them , tell (5628 ) it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear (5661 ) the church , let him be (5749 ) unto thee as an heathen man and a publican . * Verily I say (5719 ) unto you , Whatsoever ye shall bind (5661 ) on earth shall be (5704 ) bound (5772 ) in heaven : and whatsoever ye shall loose (5661 ) on earth shall be (5704 ) loosed (5772 ) in heaven . * Again I say (5719 ) unto you , That if two of you shall agree (5661 ) on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask (5672 ), it shall be done (5695 ) for them of my Father which is in heaven . * For where two or three are (5748 ) gathered together (5772 ) in my name , there am I (5748 ) in the midst of them .
