Matthew 18

GNT

1 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῶ ἰησοῦ λέγοντες, τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν;

2 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

3 καὶ εἶπεν, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.

4 ὅστις οὗν ταπεινώσει ἑαυτὸν ὡς τὸ παιδίον τοῦτο, οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ μείζων ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν.

5 καὶ ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται ἓν παιδίον τοιοῦτο ἐπὶ τῶ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται.

6 ὃς δ᾽ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ, συμφέρει αὐτῶ ἵνα κρεμασθῇ μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ καταποντισθῇ ἐν τῶ πελάγει τῆς θαλάσσης.

7 οὐαὶ τῶ κόσμῳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκανδάλων· ἀνάγκη γὰρ ἐλθεῖν τὰ σκάνδαλα, πλὴν οὐαὶ τῶ ἀνθρώπῳ δι᾽ οὖ τὸ σκάνδαλον ἔρχεται.

8 εἰ δὲ ἡ χείρ σου ἢ ὁ πούς σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν ζωὴν κυλλὸν ἢ χωλόν, ἢ δύο χεῖρας ἢ δύο πόδας ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὸ πῦρ τὸ αἰώνιον.

9 καὶ εἰ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· καλόν σοί ἐστιν μονόφθαλμον εἰς τὴν ζωὴν εἰσελθεῖν, ἢ δύο ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντα βληθῆναι εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός.

10 ὁρᾶτε μὴ καταφρονήσητε ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.

11 

12 τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἐὰν γένηταί τινι ἀνθρώπῳ ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ πλανηθῇ ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, οὐχὶ ἀφήσει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ πορευθεὶς ζητεῖ τὸ πλανώμενον;

13 καὶ ἐὰν γένηται εὑρεῖν αὐτό, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι χαίρει ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶ μᾶλλον ἢ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα τοῖς μὴ πεπλανημένοις.

14 οὕτως οὐκ ἔστιν θέλημα ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μικρῶν τούτων.

15 ἐὰν δὲ ἁμαρτήσῃ [εἰς σὲ] ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου. ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σου·

16 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ἀκούσῃ, παράλαβε μετὰ σοῦ ἔτι ἕνα ἢ δύο, ἵνα ἐπὶ στόματος δύο μαρτύρων ἢ τριῶν σταθῇ πᾶν ῥῆμα·

17 ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσῃ αὐτῶν, εἰπὲ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας παρακούσῃ, ἔστω σοι ὥσπερ ὁ ἐθνικὸς καὶ ὁ τελώνης.

18 ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅσα ἐὰν δήσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται δεδεμένα ἐν οὐρανῶ καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν λύσητε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἔσται λελυμένα ἐν οὐρανῶ.

19 πάλιν [ἀμὴν] λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν δύο συμφωνήσωσιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς περὶ παντὸς πράγματος οὖ ἐὰν αἰτήσωνται, γενήσεται αὐτοῖς παρὰ τοῦ πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς.

20 οὖ γάρ εἰσιν δύο ἢ τρεῖς συνηγμένοι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα, ἐκεῖ εἰμι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

21 τότε προσελθὼν ὁ πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῶ, κύριε, ποσάκις ἁμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀφήσω αὐτῶ; ἕως ἑπτάκις;

22 λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, οὐ λέγω σοι ἕως ἑπτάκις ἀλλὰ ἕως ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.

23 διὰ τοῦτο ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ ὃς ἠθέλησεν συνᾶραι λόγον μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.

24 ἀρξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ συναίρειν προσηνέχθη αὐτῶ εἷς ὀφειλέτης μυρίων ταλάντων.

25 μὴ ἔχοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποδοῦναι ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος πραθῆναι καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ τέκνα καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἔχει, καὶ ἀποδοθῆναι.

26 πεσὼν οὗν ὁ δοῦλος προσεκύνει αὐτῶ λέγων, μακροθύμησον ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί, καὶ πάντα ἀποδώσω σοι.

27 σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ δάνειον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῶ.

28 ἐξελθὼν δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος εὖρεν ἕνα τῶν συνδούλων αὐτοῦ ὃς ὤφειλεν αὐτῶ ἑκατὸν δηνάρια, καὶ κρατήσας αὐτὸν ἔπνιγεν λέγων, ἀπόδος εἴ τι ὀφείλεις.

29 πεσὼν οὗν ὁ σύνδουλος αὐτοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν λέγων, μακροθύμησον ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί, καὶ ἀποδώσω σοι.

30 ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἤθελεν, ἀλλὰ ἀπελθὼν ἔβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν ἕως ἀποδῶ τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.

31 ἰδόντες οὗν οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ γενόμενα ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐλθόντες διεσάφησαν τῶ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν πάντα τὰ γενόμενα.

32 τότε προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ λέγει αὐτῶ, δοῦλε πονηρέ, πᾶσαν τὴν ὀφειλὴν ἐκείνην ἀφῆκά σοι, ἐπεὶ παρεκάλεσάς με·

33 οὐκ ἔδει καὶ σὲ ἐλεῆσαι τὸν σύνδουλόν σου, ὡς κἀγὼ σὲ ἠλέησα;

34 καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν τοῖς βασανισταῖς ἕως οὖ ἀποδῶ πᾶν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.

35 οὕτως καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ποιήσει ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ ἀφῆτε ἕκαστος τῶ ἀδελφῶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν καρδιῶν ὑμῶν.

1  At¹⁷²² the same¹⁵⁶⁵ time⁵⁶¹⁰ came⁴³³⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples³¹⁰¹ unto Jesus,²⁴²⁴ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Who^{5101 686} is²⁰⁷⁶ the greatest³¹⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of heaven?³⁷⁷²

2  And²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ called⁴³⁴¹ a little child³⁸¹³ unto him, and²⁵³² set²⁴⁷⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of them,⁸⁴⁶

3  And²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Except³³⁶² ye be converted,⁴⁷⁶² and²⁵³² become¹⁰⁹⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ little children,³⁸¹³ ye shall not³³⁶⁴ enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of heaven.³⁷⁷²

4  Whosoever³⁷⁴⁸ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ shall humble⁵⁰¹³ himself¹⁴³⁸ as⁵⁶¹³ this⁵¹²⁴ little child,³⁸¹³ the same³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ greatest³¹⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of heaven.³⁷⁷²

5  And²⁵³² whoso^{3739 1437} shall receive¹²⁰⁹ one¹⁵²⁰ such⁵¹⁰⁸ little child³⁸¹³ in¹⁹⁰⁹ my³⁴⁵⁰ name³⁶⁸⁶ receiveth¹²⁰⁹ me.¹⁶⁹¹

6  But¹¹⁶¹ whoso^{3739 302} shall offend⁴⁶²⁴ one¹⁵²⁰ of these⁵¹³⁰ little ones³³⁹⁸ which believe⁴¹⁰⁰ in¹⁵¹⁹ me,¹⁶⁹¹ it were better⁴⁸⁵¹ for him⁸⁴⁶ that²⁴⁴³ a millstone^{3458 3684} were hanged²⁹¹⁰ about¹⁹⁰⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ neck,⁵¹³⁷ and²⁵³² that he were drowned²⁶⁷⁰ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ depth³⁹⁸⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ sea.²²⁸¹

7  Woe³⁷⁵⁹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ because of offenses!⁴⁶²⁵ for¹⁰⁶³ it must needs be^{2076 318} that offenses⁴⁶²⁵ come;²⁰⁶⁴ but⁴¹³³ woe³⁷⁵⁹ to that¹⁵⁶⁵ man⁴⁴⁴ by¹²²³ whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ offense⁴⁶²⁵ cometh!²⁰⁶⁴

8  Wherefore¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ hand⁵⁴⁹⁵ or²²²⁸ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ foot⁴²²⁸ offend⁴⁶²⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ cut them off,^{1581 846} and²⁵³² cast⁹⁰⁶ them from⁵⁷⁵ thee:⁴⁶⁷⁵ it is²⁰⁷⁶ better²⁵⁷⁰ for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ life²²²² halt⁵⁵⁶⁰ or²²²⁸ maimed,²⁹⁴⁸ rather than²²²⁸ having²¹⁹² two¹⁴¹⁷ hands⁵⁴⁹⁵ or²²²⁸ two¹⁴¹⁷ feet⁴²²⁸ to be cast⁹⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ everlasting¹⁶⁶ fire.⁴⁴⁴²

9  And²⁵³² if¹⁴⁸⁷ thine⁴⁶⁷⁵ eye³⁷⁸⁸ offend⁴⁶²⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ pluck it out,^{1807 846} and²⁵³² cast⁹⁰⁶ it from⁵⁷⁵ thee:⁴⁶⁷⁵ it is²⁰⁷⁶ better²⁵⁷⁰ for thee⁴⁶⁷¹ to enter¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ life²²²² with one eye,³⁴⁴² rather²²²⁸ than having²¹⁹² two¹⁴¹⁷ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ to be cast⁹⁰⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ hell¹⁰⁶⁷ fire.⁴⁴⁴²

10  Take heed³⁷⁰⁸ that ye despise²⁷⁰⁶ not³³⁶¹ one¹⁵²⁰ of these⁵¹³⁰ little ones;³³⁹⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ That³⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² heaven³⁷⁷² their⁸⁴⁶ angels³² do always^{1223 3956} behold⁹⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ face⁴³⁸³ of my³⁴⁵⁰ Father³⁹⁶² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² heaven.³⁷⁷²

11  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ of man⁴⁴⁴ is come²⁰⁶⁴ to save⁴⁹⁸² that which was lost.⁶²²

12  How⁵¹⁰¹ think¹³⁸⁰ ye?⁵²¹³ if¹⁴³⁷ a⁵¹⁰⁰ man⁴⁴⁴ have¹⁰⁹⁶ a hundred¹⁵⁴⁰ sheep,⁴²⁶³ and²⁵³² one¹⁵²⁰ of¹⁵³⁷ them⁸⁴⁶ be gone astray,⁴¹⁰⁵ doth he not³⁷⁸⁰ leave⁸⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ ninety and nine,¹⁷⁶⁸ and goeth⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ mountains,³⁷³⁵ and²⁵³² seeketh²²¹² that which is gone astray?⁴¹⁰⁵

13  And²⁵³² if¹⁴³⁷ so be¹⁰⁹⁶ that he find²¹⁴⁷ it,⁸⁴⁶ verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ he³⁷⁵⁴ rejoiceth⁵⁴⁶³ more³¹²³ of¹⁹⁰⁹ that⁸⁴⁶ sheep, than²²²⁸ of¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ninety and nine¹⁷⁶⁸ which went not astray.^{4105 3361}

14  Even so³⁷⁷⁹ it is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ the will²³⁰⁷ of¹⁷¹⁵ your⁵²¹⁶ Father³⁹⁶² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² heaven,³⁷⁷² that²⁴⁴³ one¹⁵²⁰ of these⁵¹³⁰ little ones³³⁹⁸ should perish.⁶²²

15  Moreover¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ brother⁸⁰ shall trespass²⁶⁴ against¹⁵¹⁹ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ go⁵²¹⁷ and²⁵³² tell him his fault^{1651 846} between³³⁴² thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ and²⁵³² him⁸⁴⁶ alone:³⁴⁴¹ if¹⁴³⁷ he shall hear¹⁹¹ thee,⁴⁶⁷⁵ thou hast gained²⁷⁷⁰ thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ brother.⁸⁰

16  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ he will not³³⁶¹ hear¹⁹¹ thee, then take³⁸⁸⁰ with³³²⁶ thee⁴⁶⁷⁵ one¹⁵²⁰ or²²²⁸ two¹⁴¹⁷ more,²⁰⁸⁹ that²²⁴³ in¹⁹⁰⁹ the mouth⁴⁷²⁰ of two¹⁴¹⁷ or²²²⁸ three⁵¹⁴⁰ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ every³⁹⁵⁶ word⁴⁴⁸⁷ may be established.²⁴⁷⁶

17  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ he shall neglect to hear³⁸⁷⁸ them,⁸⁴⁶ tell²⁰³⁶ it unto the³⁵⁸⁸ church:¹⁵⁷⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴³⁷ he neglect to hear³⁸⁷⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ church,¹⁵⁷⁷ let him be²⁰⁷⁷ unto thee⁴⁶⁷¹ as⁵⁶¹⁸ a heathen man¹⁴⁸² and²⁵³² a publican.⁵⁰⁵⁷

18  Verily²⁸¹ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ Whatsoever^{3745 1437} ye shall bind¹²¹⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ earth¹⁰⁹³ shall be²⁰⁷¹ bound¹²¹⁰ in¹⁷²² heaven:³⁷⁷² and²⁵³² whatsoever^{3745 1437} ye shall loose³⁰⁸⁹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ earth¹⁰⁹³ shall be²⁰⁷¹ loosed³⁰⁸⁹ in¹⁷²² heaven.³⁷⁷²

19  Again³⁸²⁵ I say³⁰⁰⁴ unto you,⁵²¹³ That³⁷⁵⁴ if¹⁴³⁷ two¹⁴¹⁷ of you⁵²¹⁶ shall agree⁴⁸⁵⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ earth¹⁰⁹³ as touching⁴⁰¹² any³⁹⁵⁶ thing⁴²²⁹ that^{3739 1437} they shall ask,¹⁵⁴ it shall be done¹⁰⁹⁶ for them⁸⁴⁶ of³⁸⁴⁴ my³⁴⁵⁰ Father³⁹⁶² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² heaven.³⁷⁷²

20  For¹⁰⁶³ where³⁷⁵⁷ two¹⁴¹⁷ or²²²⁸ three⁵¹⁴⁰ are¹⁵²⁶ gathered together⁴⁸⁶³ in¹⁵¹⁹ my¹⁶⁹⁹ name,³⁶⁸⁶ there¹⁵⁶³ am¹⁵¹⁰ I in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of them.⁸⁴⁶

21  Then⁵¹¹⁹ came⁴³³⁴ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ to him,⁸⁴⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ Lord,²⁹⁶² how oft⁴²¹² shall my³⁴⁵⁰ brother⁸⁰ sin²⁶⁴ against¹⁵¹⁹ me,¹⁶⁹¹ and²⁵³² I forgive⁸⁶³ him?⁸⁴⁶ till²¹⁹³ seven times?²⁰³⁴

22  Jesus²⁴²⁴ saith³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ I say³⁰⁰⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ Until²¹⁹³ seven times:²⁰³⁴ but, Until²¹⁹³ seventy times¹⁴⁴¹ seven.²⁰³³

23  Therefore^{1223 5124} is the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of heaven³⁷⁷² likened unto³⁶⁶⁶ a certain king,^{444 935} which³⁷³⁹ would²³⁰⁹ take⁴⁸⁶⁸ account³⁰⁵⁶ of³³²⁶ his⁸⁴⁸ servants.¹⁴⁰¹

24  And¹¹⁶¹ when he⁸⁴⁶ had begun⁷⁵⁶ to reckon,⁴⁸⁶⁸ one¹⁵²⁰ was brought⁴³⁷⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ which owed³⁷⁸¹ him ten thousand³⁴⁶³ talents.⁵⁰⁰⁷

25  But¹¹⁶¹ forasmuch as he⁸⁴⁶ had²¹⁹² not³³⁶¹ to pay,⁵⁹¹ his⁸⁴⁶ lord²⁹⁶² commanded²⁷⁵³ him⁸⁴⁶ to be sold,⁴⁰⁹⁷ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ wife,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² children,⁵⁰⁴³ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ that he³⁷⁴⁵ had,²¹⁹² and²⁵³² payment to be made.⁵⁹¹

26  The³⁵⁸⁸ servant¹⁴⁰¹ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ fell down,⁴⁰⁹⁸ and worshiped⁴³⁵² him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Lord,²⁹⁶² have patience³¹¹⁴ with¹⁹⁰⁹ me,¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² I will pay⁵⁹¹ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ all.³⁹⁵⁶

27  Then¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ lord²⁹⁶² of that¹⁵⁶⁵ servant¹⁴⁰¹ was moved with compassion⁴⁶⁹⁷ and loosed⁶³⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² forgave⁸⁶³ him⁸⁴⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ debt.¹¹⁵⁶

28  But¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ same¹⁵⁶⁵ servant¹⁴⁰¹ went out,¹⁸³¹ and found²¹⁴⁷ one¹⁵²⁰ of his⁸⁴⁶ fellow servants,⁴⁸⁸⁹ which³⁷³⁹ owed³⁷⁸⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ a hundred¹⁵⁴⁰ pence:¹²²⁰ and²⁵³² he laid hands²⁹⁰² on him,⁸⁴⁶ and took him by the throat,⁴¹⁵⁵ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Pay⁵⁹¹ me³⁴²⁷ that³⁷⁴⁸ thou owest.³⁷⁸⁴

29  And³⁷⁶⁷ his⁸⁴⁶ fellowservant⁴⁸⁸⁹ fell down⁴⁰⁹⁸ at¹⁵¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ feet,⁴²²⁸ and besought³⁸⁷⁰ him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Have patience³¹¹⁴ with¹⁹⁰⁹ me,¹⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² I will pay⁵⁹¹ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ all.³⁹⁵⁶

30  And¹¹⁶¹ he³⁵⁸⁸ would²³⁰⁹ not:³⁷⁵⁶ but²³⁵ went⁵⁶⁵ and cast⁹⁰⁶ him⁸⁴⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ prison,⁵⁴³⁸ till²¹⁹³ he should pay⁵⁹¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ debt.³⁷⁸⁴

31  So¹¹⁶¹ when his⁸⁴⁶ fellowservants⁴⁸⁸⁹ saw¹⁴⁹² what was done,¹⁰⁹⁶ they were very sorry,^{3076 4970} and²⁵³² came²⁰⁶⁴ and told¹²⁸⁵ unto their⁸⁴⁸ lord²⁹⁶² all³⁹⁵⁶ that was done.¹⁰⁹⁶

32  Then⁵¹¹⁹ his⁸⁴⁶ lord,²⁹⁶² after that he had called⁴³⁴¹ him,⁸⁴⁶ said³⁰⁰⁴ unto him,⁸⁴⁶ O thou wicked⁴¹⁹⁰ servant,¹⁴⁰¹ I forgave⁸⁶³ thee⁴⁶⁷¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that¹⁵⁶⁵ debt,³⁷⁸² because¹⁸⁹³ thou desiredst³⁸⁷⁰ me:³¹⁶⁵

33  Shouldest¹¹⁶³ not³⁷⁵⁶ thou⁴⁵⁷¹ also²⁵³² have had compassion¹⁶⁵³ on thy⁴⁶⁷⁵ fellow servant,⁴⁸⁸⁹ even²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹³ I¹⁴⁷³ had pity¹⁶⁵³ on thee?⁴⁵⁷¹

34  And²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ lord²⁹⁶² was wroth,³⁷¹⁰ and delivered³⁸⁶⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ tormentors,⁹³⁰ till²¹⁹³ he³⁷³⁹ should pay⁵⁹¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that was due³⁷⁸⁴ unto him.⁸⁴⁶

35  So likewise³⁷⁷⁹ shall my³⁴⁵⁰ heavenly²⁰³² Father³⁹⁶² do⁴¹⁶⁰ also²⁵³² unto you,⁵²¹³ if³³⁶² ye from⁵⁷⁵ your⁵²¹⁶ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ forgive⁸⁶³ not³³⁶² every one¹⁵³⁸ his⁸⁴⁸ brother⁸⁰ their⁸⁴⁶ trespasses.³⁹⁰⁰

Vul

1 In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælorum?

2 Et advocans Jesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum,

3 et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.

4 Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est major in regno cælorum.

5 Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit:

6 qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo ejus, et demergatur in profundum maris.

7 Væ mundo a scandalis! Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala: verumtamen væ homini illi, per quem scandalum venit.

8 Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalizat te, abscide eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem, vel claudum, quam duas manus vel duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem æternum.

9 Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, erue eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno oculo in vitam intrare, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis.

10 Videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis: dico enim vobis, quia angeli eorum in cælis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in cælis est.

11 Venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat.

12 Quid vobis videtur? si fuerint alicui centum oves, et erravit una ex eis: nonne relinquit nonaginta novem in montibus, et vadit quærere eam quæ erravit?

13 Et si contigerit ut inveniat eam: amen dico vobis, quia gaudet super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem, quæ non erraverunt.

14 Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.

15 Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, et corripe eum inter te, et ipsum solum: si te audierit, lucratus eris fratrem tuum.

16 Si autem te non audierit, adhibe tecum adhuc unum, vel duos, ut in ore duorum, vel trium testium stet omne verbum.

17 Quod si non audierit eos: dic ecclesiæ. Si autem ecclesiam non audierit, sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus.

18 Amen dico vobis, quæcumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata et in cælo: et quæcumque solveritis super terram, erunt soluta et in cælo.

19 Iterum dico vobis, quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram, de omni re quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in cælis est.

20 Ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum.

21 Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum, dixit: Domine, quoties peccabit in me frater meus, et dimittam ei? usque septies?

22 Dicit illi Jesus: Non dico tibi usque septies: sed usque septuagies septies.

23 Ideo assimilatum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.

24 Et cum cœpisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.

25 Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, jussit eum dominus ejus venundari, et uxorem ejus, et filios, et omnia quæ habebat, et reddi.

26 Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

27 Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.

28 Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios: et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens: Redde quod debes.

29 Et procidens conservus ejus, rogabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

30 Ille autem noluit: sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.

31 Videntes autem conservi ejus quæ fiebant, contristati sunt valde: et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quæ facta fuerant.

32 Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me:

33 nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?

34 Et iratus dominus ejus tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.

35 Sic et Pater meus cælestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.
