Chapter 18
Matt MKJV 18:1  At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven?
Matt MKJV 18:2  And Jesus called a little child to Him and set him in their midst,
Matt MKJV 18:3  and said, Truly I say to you, Unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Matt MKJV 18:4  Therefore whoever shall humble himself like this little child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven.
Matt MKJV 18:5  And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name receives Me.
Matt MKJV 18:6  But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believes in Me, it would be better for him that an ass's millstone were hung around his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Matt MKJV 18:7  Woe to the world because of offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Matt MKJV 18:8  And if your hand or your foot causes you to offend, cut them off and throw them from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Matt MKJV 18:9  And if your eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
Matt MKJV 18:10  Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I say to you that in Heaven their angels always behold the face of My Father in Heaven.
Matt MKJV 18:11  For the Son of man has come to save that which was lost.
Matt MKJV 18:12  What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, does he not leave the ninety and nine and go into the mountains and seek the straying one?
Matt MKJV 18:13  And if it happens that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety and nine which did not stray.
Matt MKJV 18:14  Even so it is not the will of your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
Matt MKJV 18:15  But if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
Matt MKJV 18:16  But if he will not hear you, take one or two more with you, so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Matt MKJV 18:17  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he neglects to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax-collector.
Matt MKJV 18:18  Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in Heaven.
Matt MKJV 18:19  Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth as regarding anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in Heaven.
Matt MKJV 18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.
Matt MKJV 18:21  Then Peter came to Him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?
Matt MKJV 18:22  Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Matt MKJV 18:23  Therefore the kingdom of Heaven has been compared to a certain king who desired to make an accounting with his servants.
Matt MKJV 18:24  And when he had begun to count, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Matt MKJV 18:25  But as he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded that he, and his wife and children, and all that he had, be sold, and payment be made.
Matt MKJV 18:26  Then the servant fell down and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay you all.
Matt MKJV 18:27  Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.
Matt MKJV 18:28  But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.
Matt MKJV 18:29  And his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you all.
Matt MKJV 18:30  And he would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay the debt.
Matt MKJV 18:31  So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry. And they came and told their lord all that was done.
Matt MKJV 18:32  Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, O wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Matt MKJV 18:33  Should you not also have pitied your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
Matt MKJV 18:34  And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him.
Matt MKJV 18:35  So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also to you, unless each one of you from your hearts forgive his brother their trespasses.
