Matthew:18:1-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In that the hour came the disciples to the Jesus ,
saying :
Who then greater is in the kingdom of the heaven ?
*
And having called the Jesus a little child placed it in midst of them ,
*
and said :
Indeed I say to you ,
if not you be changed and become as the little children ,
not not you may enter into the kingdom of the heavens .
*
Whoever therefore may humble himself as the little child this ,
he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens .
*
And whoever may receive a little child such one on the name of me ,
me receives .
*
Who but ever may insnare one of the little
ones these ,
of the believing into me ,
it is appropriate to him ,
that should be hung a millstone upper on the neck of him ,
and he should be sunk in the depth of the sea .
*
Woe to the world from the snares .
Necessary for it is to come the snares ;
but woe to the man to that through whom the snare comes .
*
If therefore the hand of thee or the foot of thee insnares thee ,
cut off them ,
and cast from thee ;
good to thee it is to enter into the life lame or a cripple ,
than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire the age
lasting .
*
And if the eye of thee insnares thee ,
tear out it ,
and cast from thee ;
good of thee it is one
eyed into the life to enter ,
than two eyes having to be cast into the Gehenna of the fire .
*
See ,
not you may despise one of the little
ones these ;
I say for to you that the messengers of them in heavens perpetually see the face of the Father of me ,
that in heavens .
*
Is come for the son of the man to save the having been lost .
*
What to you seems right ?
if should have any man a hundred sheep ,
and should go astray one from them ;
not leaving the ninety
nine upon the mountain ,
going he seeks that having strayed ?
*
And if he should happen to find it ,
indeed I say to you ,
that he rejoices over it more ,
than over the nine
nine ,
those not having been led astray .
*
Thus not it is will in the presence of the Father of you of that in heavens ,
that should perish one of the little
ones of them .
*
If and should in error against thee the brother of thee ,
go ,
test him between thee and him alone .
If thee he may hear thou hast won the brother of thee ;
*
If but not he may hear ,
take with thee besides one or two ;
that by mouth two of witnesses or of three may be proved every word .
*
If and he should disregard them ,
tell thou to the congregation ;
if and also of the congregation he should disregard ,
let him be to thee as the Gentile and the tax
gather .
*
Indeed i say to you ,
whatever you may bind on the earth ,
shall be having been bound in the heaven ;
and whatever you may loose on the earth ,
shall be having been loosed in the heaven .
*
Again I say to you ,
that if two of you may agree upon the earth ,
about any matter ,
whatever they may ask ,
it shall be to them from the Father of me ,
of that in heavens .
*
Where for are two or three having come together in the my name ,
there i am in the midst of them .
*
Then coming to him the Peter ,
said :
O lord ,
how often shall sin against me the brother of me ,
and I shall forgive him ?
till seven times ?
*
Says to him the Jesus :
Not I say to thee ,
till seven times ,
but till seventy times seven .
*
Therefore this has been compared the kingdom of the heavens to a man king ,
who wished to settle an account with the slaves of him .
*
Having begun and of him to settle ,
they brought to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents .
*
Not having but of him to pay ,
ordered him the lord of him to be sold ,
and the wife of him ,
and the children ,
and all as much as he had ,
and payment to be made .
*
Falling down therefore the slave he prostrated to him ,
saying :
O lord ,
have patience with me ,
and all to thee I will pay .
*
being moved with pity then the lord of the slave of that ,
loosed him ,
and the debt remitted to him .
*
Going out but the slave that ,
found one of the fellow
slaves of him ,
who owned to him a hundred denarii ;
and seizing him he coked him ,
saying :
Pay to me if any thing thou owest .
*
Falling down therefore the fellow
slave of him ,
besought him ,
saying :
Have patience with me ,
and all I will pay to thee .
*
He and not he would ;
but going away he cast him into prison ,
till he should pay that he was owing .
*
Seeing and the fellow
slaves of him that having been done ,
were grieved much ;
and going they related to the lord of them all that having been done .
*
Then having called him the lord of him ,
says to him :
O slave wicked ,
all the debt that I remitted to thee ,
because thou besought me ;
*
not was it binding also thee to have pitied the fellow slave of thee ,
as also I thee pitied ?
*
And being provoked the lord of him delivered him to the jailors ,
till he may pay all that owing to him .
*
So also the Father of me the heavenly will do to you if not you forgive each one the brother of him from the hearts of you .
