1: In_G1722 that_G1565 -_G3588 hour_G5610 came_G4334 the_G3588 disciples_G3101 -_G3588 to Jesus,_G2424 saying,_G3004 Who_G5101 then_G0686 [the] greatest_G3173 is_G1510 in_G1722 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 of the_G3588 heavens?_G3772

2: And_G2532 having called to [Him]_G4341 a child,_G3813 He set_G2476 it_G0846 in_G1722 midst_G3319 of them,_G0846

3: and_G2532 said,_G2036 Truly_G0281 I say_G3004 to you,_G4771 if_G1437 not_G3361 you turn_G4762 and_G2532 become_G1096 as_G5613 the_G3588 little children,_G3813 no_G3756 not_G3361 shall you enter_G1525 into_G1519 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 of the_G3588 heavens._G3772

4: Whoever_G3748 therefore_G3767 will humble_G5013 himself_G1438 as_G5613 the_G3588 little child_G3813 this,_G3778 he_G3778 is_G1510 the_G3588 greatest_G3173 in_G1722 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 of the_G3588 heavens._G3772

5: And_G2532 whoever_G3739 if_G1437 shall receive_G1209 one_G1520 little child_G3813 such_G5108 in_G1909 the_G3588 name_G3686 of Me,_G1473 Me_G1473 receives._G1209

6: Whoever_G3739 then_G1161 -_G0302 shall cause to stumble_G4624 one_G1520 of the_G3588 little ones_G3398 of these_G3778 -_G3588 believing_G4100 in_G1519 Me,_G1473 it is better_G4851 for him_G0846 that_G2443 should be hung_G2910 a millstone_G3458 heavy_G3684 around_G4012 the_G3588 neck_G5137 of him,_G0846 and_G2532 he be sunk_G2670 in_G1722 the_G3588 depth_G3989 of the_G3588 sea._G2281

7: Woe_G3759 to the_G3588 world_G2889 because of_G0575 the_G3588 causes of sin._G4625 Necessary [are]_G0318 for_G1063 to come_G2064 the_G3588 stumbling blocks,_G4625 but_G4133 woe_G3759 to the_G3588 man_G0444 by_G1223 whom_G3739 the_G3588 offense_G4625 comes!_G2064

8: If_G1487 now_G1161 the_G3588 hand_G5495 of you_G4771 or_G2228 the_G3588 foot_G4228 of you_G4771 causes to sin_G4624 you,_G4771 cut off_G1581 it_G0846 and_G2532 cast [it]_G0906 from_G0575 you;_G4771 better_G2570 for you_G4771 it is_G1510 to enter_G1525 into_G1519 -_G3588 life_G2222 crippled_G2948 or_G2228 lame,_G5560 than_G2228 two_G1417 hands_G5495 or_G2228 two_G1417 feet_G4228 having,_G2192 to be cast_G0906 into_G1519 the_G3588 fire_G4442 -_G3588 eternal._G0166

9: And_G2532 if_G1487 the_G3588 eye_G3788 of you_G4771 causes to sin_G4624 you,_G4771 gouge out_G1807 it_G0846 and_G2532 cast [it]_G0906 from_G0575 you;_G4771 better_G2570 for you_G4771 it is_G1510 one-eyed_G3442 into_G1519 -_G3588 life_G2222 to enter,_G1525 than_G2228 two_G1417 eyes_G3788 having_G2192 to be cast_G0906 into_G1519 the_G3588 hell_G1067 of the_G3588 fire._G4442

10: See [that]_G3708 not_G3361 you despise_G2706 one_G1520 of the_G3588 little ones_G3398 of these._G3778 I say_G3004 for_G1063 to you_G4771 that_G3754 the_G3588 angels_G0032 of them_G0846 in_G1722 [the] heavens_G3772 continually_G1223 always_G3956 behold_G0991 the_G3588 face_G4383 of the_G3588 Father_G3962 of me,_G1473 who [is]_G3588 in_G1722 [the] heavens._G3772

11: has come_G2064 for_G1063 the_G3588 Son_G5207 -_G3588 of Man_G0444 to save_G4982 that which_G3588 has been lost._G0622

12: What_G5101 you_G4771 do think?_G1380 If_G1437 there should be_G1096 to any_G5100 man_G0444 a hundred_G1540 sheep,_G4263 and_G2532 has gone astray_G4105 one_G1520 of_G1537 them,_G0846 not_G3780 will he leave_G0863 the_G3588 ninety_G1768 nine_G1767 on_G1909 the_G3588 mountains,_G3735 and_G2532 having gone,_G4198 seek_G2212 the [one]_G3588 going astray?_G4105

13: And_G2532 if_G1437 he should_G1096 find_G2147 it,_G0846 truly_G0281 I say_G3004 to you_G4771 that_G3754 he rejoices_G5463 over_G1909 it_G0846 more_G3123 than_G2228 over_G1909 the_G3588 ninety_G1768 nine_G1767 -_G3588 not_G3361 having gone astray._G4105

14: Thus_G3779 not_G3756 it is_G1510 [the] will_G2307 of_G1715 the_G3588 Father_G3962 of you_G4771 who [is]_G3588 in_G1722 [the] heavens,_G3772 that_G2443 should perish_G0622 one_G1520 of the_G3588 little ones_G3398 of these._G3778

15: If_G1437 now_G1161 sins_G0264 against_G1519 you_G4771 the_G3588 brother_G0080 of you,_G4771 go_G5217 reprove_G1651 him,_G0846 between_G3342 you_G4771 and_G2532 him_G0846 alone._G3441 If_G1437 you_G4771 he will hear,_G0191 you have gained_G2770 the_G3588 brother_G0080 of you._G4771

16: If_G1437 however_G1161 not_G3361 he will hear,_G0191 take_G3880 with_G3326 you_G4771 more,_G2089 one_G1520 or_G2228 two,_G1417 that_G2443 upon_G1909 [the] testimony_G4750 of two_G1417 witnesses_G3144 or_G2228 of three,_G5140 may be strengthened_G2476 every_G3956 word._G4487

17: If_G1437 now_G1161 he fails to listen_G3878 to them,_G0846 tell [it]_G2036 to the_G3588 church._G1577 If_G1437 now_G1161 also_G2532 to the_G3588 church_G1577 he fails to listen,_G3878 let him be_G1510 to you_G4771 as_G5618 the_G3588 pagan_G1482 and_G2532 the_G3588 tax collector._G5057

18: Truly_G0281 I say_G3004 to you,_G4771 how many_G3745 if_G1437 you shall bind_G1210 on_G1909 the_G3588 earth,_G1093 shall have been_G1510 bound_G1210 in_G1722 heaven;_G3772 and_G2532 how many_G3745 if_G1437 you shall loose_G3089 on_G1909 the_G3588 earth,_G1093 shall have been_G1510 loosed_G3089 in_G1722 heaven._G3772

19: Again_G3825 truly_G0281 I say_G3004 to you_G4771 that_G3754 if_G1437 two_G1417 might agree_G4856 of_G1537 you_G4771 on_G1909 the_G3588 earth_G1093 concerning_G4012 any_G3956 matter,_G4229 that_G3739 if_G1437 they shall ask,_G0154 it will be done_G1096 for them_G0846 by_G3844 the_G3588 Father_G3962 of Me_G1473 who [is]_G3588 in_G1722 [the] heavens._G3772

20: Where_G3757 for_G1063 are_G1510 two_G1417 or_G2228 three_G5140 gathered together_G4863 unto_G1519 -_G3588 My_G1699 name,_G3686 there_G1563 am I_G1510 in_G1722 [the] midst_G3319 of them._G0846

21: Then_G5119 having come,_G4334 -_G3588 Peter_G4074 said_G2036 to Him,_G0846 Lord,_G2962 how often_G4212 will sin_G0264 against_G1519 me_G1473 the_G3588 brother_G0080 of me,_G1473 and_G2532 I will forgive_G0863 him?_G0846 Up to_G2193 seven times?_G2034

22: Says_G3004 to him_G0846 -_G3588 Jesus,_G2424 Not_G3756 I say_G3004 to you_G4771 up to_G2193 seven times,_G2034 but_G0235 up to_G2193 seventy times_G1441 seven!_G2033

23: Because of_G1223 this,_G3778 has become like_G3666 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 of the_G3588 heavens_G3772 to a man,_G0444 a king,_G0935 who_G3739 desired_G2309 to settle_G4868 accounts_G3056 with_G3326 the_G3588 servants_G1401 of him._G0846

24: Having begun_G0756 then_G1161 he_G0846 to settle,_G4868 was brought_G4374 one_G1520 to him,_G0846 a debtor_G3781 of ten thousand_G3463 talents._G5007

25: Nothing_G3361 having_G2192 now_G1161 he_G0846 to pay,_G0591 commanded_G2753 him_G0846 the_G3588 master_G2962 to be sold,_G4097 and_G2532 the_G3588 wife_G1135 and_G2532 the_G3588 children,_G5043 and_G2532 all_G3956 as many as_G3745 he had,_G2192 and_G2532 payment to be made._G0591

26: Having fallen down_G4098 therefore_G3767 the_G3588 servant_G1401 was bowing on his knees_G4352 to him,_G0846 saying,_G3004 Have patience_G3114 with_G1909 me,_G1473 and_G2532 all_G3956 I will pay_G0591 to you._G4771

27: Having been moved with compassion_G4697 now,_G1161 the_G3588 master_G2962 of the_G3588 servant_G1401 that_G1565 released_G0630 him,_G0846 and_G2532 the_G3588 debt_G1156 forgave_G0863 him._G0846

28: Having gone out_G1831 however,_G1161 the_G3588 servant_G1401 same_G1565 found_G2147 one_G1520 the_G3588 fellow servants_G4889 of him_G0846 who_G3739 was owing_G3784 him_G0846 a hundred_G1540 denarii,_G1220 and_G2532 having seized_G2902 him_G0846 he was throttling [him],_G4155 saying,_G3004 Pay_G0591 if_G1487 any_G5100 you owe._G3784

29: Having fallen down_G4098 therefore,_G3767 the_G3588 fellow servant_G4889 of him_G0846 was begging_G3870 him,_G0846 saying,_G3004 Have patience_G3114 with_G1909 me,_G1473 and_G2532 I will pay_G0591 you._G4771

30: -_G3588 But_G1161 not_G3756 he was willing,_G2309 rather_G0235 having gone,_G0565 he cast_G0906 him_G0846 into_G1519 prison,_G5438 until_G2193 that_G3739 he should pay_G0591 that which_G3588 was owing._G3784

31: Having seen_G3708 therefore_G3767 the_G3588 fellow servants_G4889 of him_G0846 the things_G3588 having taken place,_G1096 they were grieved_G3076 deeply,_G4970 and_G2532 having gone,_G2064 narrated_G1285 to_G3588 master_G2962 of themselves_G1438 all_G3956 that_G3588 having taken place._G1096

32: Then_G5119 having called to_G4341 him,_G0846 the_G3588 master_G2962 of him_G0846 says_G3004 to him,_G0846 Servant_G1401 evil,_G4190 all_G3956 the_G3588 debt_G3782 that_G1565 I forgave_G0863 you,_G4771 because_G1893 you begged_G3870 me._G1473

33: Not_G3756 did it behoove_G1163 also_G2532 you_G4771 to have pitied_G1653 the_G3588 fellow servant_G4889 of you,_G4771 as_G5613 also I_G2504 you_G4771 had pitied?_G1653

34: And_G2532 having been angry,_G3710 the_G3588 master_G2962 of him_G0846 delivered_G3860 him_G0846 to the_G3588 jailers,_G0930 until_G2193 that_G3739 he should pay_G0591 all_G3956 -_G3588 being owed_G3784 to him._G0846

35: Thus_G3779 also_G2532 the_G3588 Father_G3962 of Me_G1473 -_G3588 Heavenly_G3770 will do_G4160 to you,_G4771 if_G1437 not_G3361 you forgive_G0863 each_G1538 the_G3588 brother_G0080 of him,_G0846 from_G0575 the_G3588 heart_G2588 of you._G4771
