18:1
In that hour approached the disciples to Jesus saying: Who then
greater is in the kingdom of the heavens? 2 And calling forward a child he
set him in the midst of them 3 and said Truly I say t you, except ye turn and
become as children, by no means may ye enter into the kingdom of the
heavens. 4 He who Therefore will humble himself as a child this, this one
is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And whoever receives one
child such in the name of me, me receives; 6 and whoever offends one little
ones of these believing in me, it is expedient for him that be hanged an
upper millstone round the neck of him and the be drowned in the depth of
the sea. 7 Woe to the world from offences; for it is necessity to come
offences, but woe to the man through whom the offence comes. 8 Now if the
hand of thee or the foot of thee offends thee, cut off it and cast from
thee; good for thee it is to enter into life maimed or lame, than two hands or two feet having to be cast into
the fire eternal. 9 And if the eye of thee offends thee, pluck out it and
cast from thee; good for thee it is one-eyed into the life to enter, than
two eyes having to be cast into the gehenna of fire. 10 See that not ye
despise one little ones of thee for I tell you that the angels of them in
heavens always see the face of the Father

of
me in heavens. 12 What to you seems it? if there to any man a hundred sheep
and wanders one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains
and going seeks the wandering one? 13 And if he happens to find it, truly I
say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the nine-nine not having
wandered. 14 So it is not the will before the Father of you in heavens that
should perish one little ones of these. 15 Now if sins the brother of thee
go reprove him between thee and him alone. If thee he hears, thou gainedst
the brother of thee; 16 but if not he hears, take with thee more one or
two, that on by the mouth of two witnesses or three may be established
every word; 17 but if he refuses to hear them, tell to the church; and if
even the church he refuses to hear, let him be to thee as the gentile and
the tax-collector. 18 Truly I say to you whatever things ye bind on the
earth shall be having been bound in heaven, and whatever thins ye loose on
the earth shall having been loosed in heaven. 19 Again truly I say to you
that if two agree of you on the earth concerning every thing whatever they ask, it shall be to them from
the Father of me in heavens. 20 For where are two or three having been
assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
