Matthew:18:1-9

At that time ,
the talmidim approached Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach ,
saying , "
Who then is greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim ?"
*
And having called a yeled to himself ,
Rebbe ,
Melech HaMoshiach set him before them ,
*
and said , "
Omein ,
I say to you ,
unless you change inwardly and have a complete turn-around and become like yeladim ,
you shall never enter the Malchut HaShomayim .
*
Therefore ,
whoever humbles himself as this yeled ,
he is the greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim .
*
And whoever receives one such yeled in my Name receives me [
Moshiach ].
*
But whoever causes a michshol (
note :)
stumbling block (:
note )
for one of these little ones ,
who have emunah in me ,
it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck ,
and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea .
*
Oy l '
Olam (
note :)
Woe to the World (:
note )
because of its michsholim stumbling blocks !
For it is inevitable that michsholim come ;
but oy to that man through whom the michshol comes .
*
And if your hand or your foot causes a michshol for you ,
cut it off ,
and throw it from you .
It is better for you to enter Chayyim crippled or as one of the pisechim (
note :)
lame (:
note ),
than ,
having two hands and two feet ,
to be cast into the Aish Olam Eternal Fire .
*
And if your eye causes a michshol for you ,
pluck it out and throw it from you .
It is better for you to enter Chayyim one-eyed than ,
having two eyes ,
to be cast into the Gehinnom HaAish .
