Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
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.
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.
Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how
oft shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times?
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I
forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
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.
And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
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.
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.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts
forgive not every one his brother
their trespasses.
That is how My heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you
forgive your brother from your heart.”
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished
these sayings, he departed from
Galilee, and came into
the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
When Jesus had finished saying
these things, He left
Galilee and went into
the region of
Judea beyond
the Jordan.
And great multitudes followed him; and he
healed them there.
Large crowds followed Him, and He
healed them there.
The Pharisees also came unto him,
tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Then some
Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to
divorce his wife for any reason?”
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from
the beginning
the Creator ‘made
them male and female,’
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and
they twain shall be one flesh?
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?”
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to
divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart; but it was not this way from
the beginning.
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.”
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
“Not
everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.
For
there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
their mother’s
womb: and
there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and
there be eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for
the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
Then were
there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on
them, and pray: and
the disciples
rebuked them.
Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on
them and pray for
them. And
the disciples
rebuked those who brought
them.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and
forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?”
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou
wilt enter into life, keep
the commandments.
“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
“Which ones?”
the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit
adultery, do not
steal, do not bear false witness,
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
“All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
Jesus said unto him, If thou
wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to
the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow Me.”
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a
camel to go through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a
camel to pass through
the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of God.”
When his disciples heard it,
they were exceedingly
amazed, saying, Who
then can be saved?
When
the disciples heard this,
they were greatly
astonished and asked, “Who
then can be saved?”
But Jesus
beheld them, and said unto
them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
forsaken all, and followed
thee; what shall we have
therefore?
“Look,” Peter replied, “we have left everything to follow You. What then will there be for us?”
And Jesus said unto
them,
Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in
the regeneration when
the Son of man shall sit in
the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jesus said to
them, “Truly I tell you, in
the renewal of all things, when
the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
And every one that hath
forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an
hundredfold, and shall
inherit everlasting life.
And
everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for
the sake of My name will receive a
hundredfold and will
inherit eternal life.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
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.
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.
‘You also go into my
vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’
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.
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,
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.”
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said,
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and
the Son of man shall be
betrayed unto
the chief priests and unto
the scribes, and
they shall
condemn him to death,
“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and
the Son of Man will be delivered over to
the chief priests and
scribes.
They will
condemn Him to death
And shall deliver him to
the Gentiles to
mock, and to
scourge, and to
crucify him: and
the third day he shall rise again.
and will deliver Him over to
the Gentiles to be
mocked and
flogged and
crucified. And on
the third day He will be raised to life.”
Then came to him
the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and
knelt down to make a request of Him.
And he said unto her, What
wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that
these my two sons may sit,
the one on thy right hand, and
the other on
the left, in thy kingdom.
“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.
“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”
And when
the ten heard it,
they were moved with
indignation against
the two brethren.
When
the ten heard about this,
they were
indignant with
the two brothers.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
Even as
the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many.
just as
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a
ransom for many.”
And as
they departed from
Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
As
they were leaving
Jericho, a large crowd followed Him.
And, behold, two blind men sitting by
the way side, when
they heard that Jesus passed by,
cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
And
there were two blind men sitting beside
the road. When
they heard that Jesus was passing by,
they cried out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
And
the multitude
rebuked them, because
they should hold
their peace: but
they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
The crowd
admonished them to be silent, but
they cried out all
the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked.
They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
“Lord,” they answered, “let our eyes be opened.”
So Jesus had
compassion on
them, and touched
their eyes: and immediately
their eyes received sight, and
they followed him.
Moved with
compassion, Jesus touched
their eyes, and at once
they received
their sight and followed Him.
And when
they drew
nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto
the mount of Olives,
then sent Jesus two disciples,
As
they approached Jerusalem and came to
Bethphage on
the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
Saying unto
them, Go into
the village over against you, and
straightway ye shall find an
ass tied, and a
colt with her: loose
them, and bring
them unto me.
saying to
them, “Go into
the village
ahead of you, and at once you will find a
donkey tied there, with her
colt beside her.
Untie them and bring
them to Me.
And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say,
The Lord hath need of
them; and
straightway he will send
them.
If
anyone questions you, tell him that
the Lord needs
them, and he will send
them right away.”
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
This took place to
fulfill what was spoken through
the prophet:
Tell ye
the daughter of
Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
thee,
meek, and sitting upon an
ass, and a
colt the foal of an
ass.
“Say to
the Daughter of
Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a
donkey, on a
colt,
the foal of a
donkey.’”
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
And brought
the ass, and
the colt, and put on
them their clothes, and
they set him
thereon.
They brought
the donkey and
the colt and laid
their cloaks on
them, and Jesus sat on
them.
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
And
the multitudes that went before, and that followed,
cried, saying,
Hosanna to
the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of
the Lord;
Hosanna in
the highest.
The crowds that went
ahead of Him and those that followed were
shouting: “
Hosanna to
the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in
the name of
the Lord!” “
Hosanna in
the highest!”
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
When Jesus had entered Jerusalem,
the whole city was
stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Then Jesus entered
the temple courts and drove out all who were
buying and selling
there. He overturned
the tables of
the money changers and
the seats of those selling doves.
And said unto
them, It is written, My house shall be called
the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
And
the blind and
the lame came to him in
the temple; and he
healed them.
The blind and
the lame came to Him at
the temple, and He
healed them.
And when
the chief priests and
scribes saw
the wonderful things that he did, and
the children crying in
the temple, and saying,
Hosanna to
the Son of David;
they were
sore displeased,
But
the chief priests and
scribes were
indignant when
they saw
the wonders He performed and
the children
shouting in
the temple courts, “
Hosanna to
the Son of David!”
And said unto him, Hearest thou what
these say? And Jesus saith unto
them,
Yea; have ye never read, Out of
the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
“Do You hear what
these children are saying?”
they asked. “
Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From
the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”
And he left
them, and went out of
the city into
Bethany; and he
lodged there.
Then He left
them and went out of
the city to
Bethany, where He spent
the night.
Now in
the morning as he returned into
the city, he
hungered.
In
the morning, as Jesus was returning to
the city, He was
hungry.
And when he saw a fig tree in
the way, he came to it, and found nothing
thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on
thee henceforward for ever. And presently
the fig tree
withered away.
Seeing a fig tree by
the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately
the tree
withered.
