Matthew 18:1-34

18:1

At
<1722>

the same
<1565>

time
<5610>

came
<4334> (5656)

the disciples
<3101>

unto Jesus
<2424>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Who
<5101> <686>

is
<2076> (5748)

the greatest
<3187>

in
<1722>

the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>_?

18:2

And
<2532>

Jesus
<2424>

called
<4341> (0)

a little child
<3813>

unto him
<4341> (5666)_,

and set
<2476> (5656)

him
<846>

in
<1722>

the midst
<3319>

of them
<846>_,

18:3

And
<2532>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Except
<3362>

ye be converted
<4762> (5652)_,

and
<2532>

become
<1096> (5638)

as
<5613>

little children
<3813>_,

ye shall
<1525> (0)

not
<3364>

enter
<1525> (5632)

into
<1519>

the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>_.

18:4

Whosoever
<3748>

therefore
<3767>

shall humble
<5013> (5661)

himself
<1438>

as
<5613>

this
<5124>

little child
<3813>_,

the same
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

greatest
<3187>

in
<1722>

the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>_.

18:5

And
<2532>

whoso
<3739> <1437>

shall receive
<1209> (5667)

one
<1520>

such
<5108>

little child
<3813>

in
<1909>

my
<3450>

name
<3686>

receiveth
<1209> (5736)

me
<1691>_.

18:6

But
<1161>

whoso
<3739> <302>

shall offend
<4624> (5661)

one
<1520>

of these
<5130>

little ones
<3398>

which
<3588>

believe
<4100> (5723)

in
<1519>

me
<1691>_,

it were better
<4851> (5719)

for him
<846>

that
<2443>

a millstone
<3458> <3684>

were hanged
<2910> (5686)

about
<1909>

his
<846>

neck
<5137>_,

and
<2532>

[that] he were drowned
<2670> (5686)

in
<1722>

the depth
<3989>

of the sea
<2281>_.

18:7

Woe
<3759>

unto the world
<2889>

because of
<575>

offences
<4625>_!

for
<1063>

it must needs
<318>

be
<2076> (5748)

that offences
<4625>

come
<2064> (5629)_;

but
<4133>

woe
<3759>

to that man
<444>

by
<1565>

whom
<1223> <3739>

the offence
<4625>

cometh
<2064> (5736)_!

18:8

Wherefore
<1161>

if
<1487>

thy
<4675>

hand
<5495>

or
<2228>

thy
<4675>

foot
<4228>

offend thee
<4624> (5719)_,

cut
<1581> (0)

them
<846>

off
<1581> (5657)_,

and
<2532>

cast
<906> (5628)

[them] from
<575>

thee
<4571> <4675>_:

it is
<2076> (5748)

better
<2570>

for thee
<4671>

to enter into
<1525> (5629) <1519>

life
<2222>

halt
<5560>

or
<2228>

maimed
<2948>_,

rather than
<2228>

having
<2192> (5723)

two
<1417>

hands
<5495>

or
<2228>

two
<1417>

feet
<4228>

to be cast
<906> (5683)

into
<1519>

everlasting
<166>

fire
<4442>_.

18:9

And
<2532>

if
<1487>

thine
<4675>

eye
<3788>

offend
<4624> (5719)

thee
<4571>_,

pluck
<1807> (0)

it
<846>

out
<1807> (5628)_,

and
<2532>

cast
<906> (5628)

[it] from
<575>

thee
<4675>_:

it is
<2076> (5748)

better
<2570>

for thee
<4671>

to enter
<1525> (5629)

into
<1519>

life
<2222>

with one eye
<3442>_,

rather than
<2228>

having
<2192> (5723)

two
<1417>

eyes
<3788>

to be cast
<906> (5683)

into
<1519>

hell
<1067>

fire
<4442>_.

18:10

Take heed
<3708> (5720)

that ye despise
<2706> (5661)

not
<3361>

one
<1520>

of these
<5130>

little ones
<3398>_;

for
<1063>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

That
<3754>

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>

their
<846>

angels
<32>

do always
<1223> <3956>

behold
<991> (5719)

the face
<4383>

of my
<3450>

Father
<3962>

which
<3588>

is in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_.

18:11

For
<1063>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

is come
<2064> (5627)

to save
<4982> (5658)

that which
<3588>

was lost
<622> (5756)_.

18:12

How
<5101>

think
<1380> (5719)

ye
<5213>_?

if
<1437> <5100>

a man
<444>

have
<1096> (5638)

an hundred
<1540>

sheep
<4263>_,

and
<2532>

one
<1520>

of
<1537>

them
<846>

be gone astray
<4105> (5686)_,

doth he
<863> (0)

not
<3780>

leave
<863> (5631)

the ninety and nine
<1768>_,

and goeth
<4198> (5679)

into
<1909>

the mountains
<3735>_,

and seeketh
<2212> (5719)

that which
<3588>

is gone astray
<4105> (5746)_?

18:13

And
<2532>

if so
<1437>

be
<1096> (5638)

that he find
<2147> (5629)

it
<846>_,

verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213> <3754>_,

he rejoiceth
<5463> (5719)

more
<3123>

of
<1909>

that
<846>

[sheep], than
<2228>

of
<1909>

the ninety and nine
<1768>

which
<3588>

went
<4105> (0)

not
<3361>

astray
<4105> (5772)_.

18:14

Even so
<3779>

it is
<2076> (5748)

not
<3756>

the will
<2307>

of
<1715>

your
<5216>

Father
<3962>

which
<3588>

is in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_,

that
<2443>

one
<1520>

of these
<5130>

little ones
<3398>

should perish
<622> (5643)_.

18:15

Moreover
<1161>

if
<1437>

thy
<4675>

brother
<80>

shall trespass
<264> (5661)

against
<1519>

thee
<4571>_,

go
<5217> (5720)

and
<2532>

tell
<1651> (0)

him
<846>

his fault
<1651> (5657)

between
<3342>

thee
<4675>

and
<2532>

him
<846>

alone
<3441>_:

if
<1437>

he shall hear
<191> (5661)

thee
<4675>_,

thou hast gained
<2770> (5656)

thy
<4675>

brother
<80>_.

18:16

But
<1161>

if
<3362> (0)

he will
<191> (0)

not
<3362>

hear
<191> (5661)

[thee, then] take
<3880> (5628)

with
<3326>

thee
<4675>

one
<1520>

or
<2228>

two
<1417>

more
<2089>_,

that
<2443>

in
<1909>

the mouth
<4750>

of two
<1417>

or
<2228>

three
<5140>

witnesses
<3144>

every
<3956>

word
<4487>

may be established
<2476> (5686)_.

18:17

And
<1161>

if
<1437>

he shall neglect to hear
<3878> (5661)

them
<846>_,

tell
<2036> (5628)

[it] unto the church
<1577>_:

but
<1161> <2532>

if
<1437>

he neglect to hear
<3878> (5661)

the church
<1577>_,

let him be
<2077> (5749)

unto thee
<4671>

as
<5618>

an heathen man
<1482>

and
<2532>

a publican
<5057>_.

18:18

Verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Whatsoever
<3745> <1437>

ye shall bind
<1210> (5661)

on
<1909>

earth
<1093>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

bound
<1210> (5772)

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_:

and
<2532>

whatsoever
<3745> <1437>

ye shall loose
<3089> (5661)

on
<1909>

earth
<1093>

shall be
<2071> (5704)

loosed
<3089> (5772)

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_.

18:19

Again
<3825>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

That
<3754>

if
<1437>

two
<1417>

of you
<5216>

shall agree
<4856> (5661)

on
<1909>

earth
<1093>

as touching
<4012>

any
<3956>

thing
<4229>

that
<3739> <1437>

they shall ask
<154> (5672)_,

it shall be done
<1096> (5695)

for them
<846>

of
<3844>

my
<3450>

Father
<3962>

which
<3588>

is in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_.

18:20

For
<1063>

where
<3757>

two
<1417>

or
<2228>

three
<5140>

are
<1526> (5748)

gathered together
<4863> (5772)

in
<1519>

my
<1699>

name
<3686>_,

there
<1563>

am I
<1510> (5748)

in
<1722>

the midst
<3319>

of them
<846>_.

18:21

Then
<5119>

came
<4334> (5631)

Peter
<4074>

to him
<846>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

how oft
<4212>

shall my
<3450>

brother
<80>

sin
<264> (5692)

against
<1519>

me
<1691>_,

and
<2532>

I forgive
<863> (5692)

him
<846>_?

till
<2193>

seven times
<2034>_?

18:22

Jesus
<2424>

saith
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

I say
<3004> (5719)

not
<3756>

unto thee
<4671>_,

Until
<2193>

seven times
<2034>_:

but
<235>_,

Until
<2193>

seventy times
<1441>

seven
<2033>_.

18:23

Therefore
<1223> <5124>

is the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

likened
<3666> (5681)

unto a certain
<444>

king
<935>_,

which
<3739>

would
<2309> (5656)

take
<4868> (5658)

account
<3056>

of
<3326>

his
<846>

servants
<1401>_.

18:24

And
<1161>

when he
<846>

had begun
<756> (5671)

to reckon
<4868> (5721)_,

one
<1520>

was brought
<4374> (5681)

unto him
<846>_,

which owed
<3781>

him
<846>

ten thousand
<3463>

talents
<5007>_.

{talents: a talent is seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, at a hundred and eleven cents the ounce}

18:25

But forasmuch as
<1161>

he
<846>

had
<2192> (5723)

not
<3361>

to pay
<591> (5629)_,

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

commanded
<2753> (5656)

him
<846>

to be sold
<4097> (5683)_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

wife
<1135>_,

and
<2532>

children
<5043>_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

that
<3745>

he had
<2192> (5707)_,

and
<2532>

payment to be made
<591> (5683)_.

18:26

The servant
<1401>

therefore
<3767>

fell down
<4098> (5631)_,

and worshipped
<4352> (5707)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

have patience
<3114> (5657)

with
<1909>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

I will pay
<591> (5692)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>_.

{worshipped him: or, besought him}

18:27

Then
<1161>

the lord
<2962>

of that
<1565>

servant
<1401>

was moved with compassion
<4697> (5679)_,

and loosed
<630> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

forgave
<863> (5656)

him
<846>

the debt
<1156>_.

18:28

But
<1161>

the same
<1565>

servant
<1401>

went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and found
<2147> (5627)

one
<1520>

of his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>_,

which
<3739>

owed
<3784> (5707)

him
<846>

an hundred
<1540>

pence
<1220>_:

and
<2532>

he laid hands
<2902> (5660)

on him
<846>_,

and took [him] by the throat
<4155> (5707)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Pay
<591> (5628)

me
<3427>

that
<3748>

thou owest
<3784> (5719)_.

{pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}

18:29

And
<3767>

his
<846>

fellowservant
<4889>

fell down
<4098> (5631)

at
<1519>

his
<846>

feet
<4228>_,

and besought
<3870> (5707)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Have patience
<3114> (5657)

with
<1909>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

I will pay
<591> (5692)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>_.

18:30

And
<1161>

he would
<2309> (5707)

not
<3756>_:

but
<235>

went
<565> (5631)

and cast
<906> (5627)

him
<846>

into
<1519>

prison
<5438>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

the debt
<3784> (5746)_.

18:31

So
<1161>

when his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>

saw
<1492> (5631)

what was done
<1096> (5637)_,

they were very
<4970>

sorry
<3076> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

came
<2064> (5631)

and told
<1285> (5656)

unto their
<846>

lord
<2962>

all
<3956>

that was done
<1096> (5637)_.

18:32

Then
<5119>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>_,

after that he had called
<4341> (5666)

him
<846>_,

said
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

O thou wicked
<4190>

servant
<1401>_,

I forgave
<863> (5656)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>

that
<1565>

debt
<3782>_,

because
<1893>

thou desiredst
<3870> (5656)

me
<3165>_:

18:33

Shouldest
<1163> (5713)

not
<3756>

thou
<4571>

also
<2532>

have had compassion
<1653> (5658)

on thy
<4675>

fellowservant
<4889>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

I
<1473>

had pity
<1653> (5656)

on thee
<4571>_?

18:34

And
<2532>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

was wroth
<3710> (5685)_,

and delivered
<3860> (5656)

him
<846>

to the tormentors
<930>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

all
<3956>

that was due
<3784> (5746)

unto him
<846>_.
