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.
If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
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.
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.’
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.
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents.
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.
Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife and children and everything he owned.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
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.
But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
But he refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay his debt.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and recounted all of this to their master.
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:
Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.

and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
“Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’
And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.
And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.
Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” the brothers answered.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
