noyes - Matthew:18:1-35

noyes@Matthew:18:1 @ At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

noyes@Matthew:18:2 @ And he called a child to him, and set him in the midst of them,

noyes@Matthew:18:3 @ and said, Truly do I say to you, Unless ye are changed, and become as children, ye will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

noyes@Matthew:18:4 @ Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

noyes@Matthew:18:5 @ And whoever receiveth one such child in my name, receiveth me.

noyes@Matthew:18:6 @ But whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to fall away, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung round his neck, and be swallowed up in the depth of the sea.

noyes@Matthew:18:7 @ Woe to the world because of stumblingblocks! For it must needs be that stumblingblocks come; but woe to the man through whom the stumblingblock cometh!

noyes@Matthew:18:8 @ And if thy hand or thy foot is causing thee to fall, cut it off, and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed or lame, than having two hands, or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.

noyes@Matthew:18:9 @ And if thine eye is causing thee to fall, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hellfire.

noyes@Matthew:18:10 @ Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

noyes@Matthew:18:12 @ What think ye? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them hath gone astray, doth he not leave the ninetynine upon the mountains, and go and seek that which hath gone astray?

noyes@Matthew:18:13 @ And if it happen that he find it, truly do I say to you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninetynine that did not go astray.

noyes@Matthew:18:14 @ Thus it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

noyes@Matthew:18:15 @ Moreover, if thy brother sin, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he listen to thee, thou hast gained thy brother;

noyes@Matthew:18:16 @ but if he do not listen, take with thee one or two more; that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

noyes@Matthew:18:17 @ And if he disregard them, tell the matter to the church; but if he disregard the church also, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.

noyes@Matthew:18:18 @ Truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever ye shall loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

noyes@Matthew:18:19 @ Again, I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on earth concerning any thing that they shall ask, it will be done for them by my Father o who is in heaven.

noyes@Matthew:18:20 @ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

noyes@Matthew:18:21 @ Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?

noyes@Matthew:18:22 @ Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

noyes@Matthew:18:23 @ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who would settle accounts with his servants.

noyes@Matthew:18:24 @ And when he had begun to reckon, there was brought to him one, who owed him ten thousand talents.

noyes@Matthew:18:25 @ But as he was unable to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

noyes@Matthew:18:26 @ Then that servant fell down and did obeisance to him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

noyes@Matthew:18:27 @ And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

noyes@Matthew:18:28 @ But that servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, who owed him a hundred denaries; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

noyes@Matthew:18:29 @ His fellowservant then fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

noyes@Matthew:18:30 @ And he would not; but went away and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

noyes@Matthew:18:31 @ Then his fellowservants, seeing what was done, were greatly grieved; and went and told their lord all that had been done.

noyes@Matthew:18:32 @ Then his lord, having called him, saith to him, Thou wicked servant! All that debt I forgave thee because thou didst beseech me;

noyes@Matthew:18:33 @ shouldst not thou also have had pity on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

noyes@Matthew:18:34 @ And his lord was enraged, and delivered him to the inflicters of punishment, till he should pay all that was due to him.

noyes@Matthew:18:35 @ So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
