At that time, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

Jesus called a little child to him and placed the child among them.

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And he said, "Truly, I tell you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

For the Son of Man came to save what was lost.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go to look for the one that wandered away?

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away.

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that any of these little ones should perish.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?"

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

At this the servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.'

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt, and let him go.

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe me!'

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will repay you.'

And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Then the master summoned the servant and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me to.'

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

'Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had mercy on you?'

Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

In anger, his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should pay back all he owed.

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.

So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
