18:1

Εν εκεινη τη ωρα προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω Ιησου λεγοντες Τις αρα μειζων εστιν εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων

In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

18:2

Και προσκαλεσαμενος παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων

And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,

18:3

και ειπεν Αμην λεγω υμιν εαν μη στραφητε και γενησθε ως τα παιδια ου μη εισελθητε εις την βασιλειαν των ουρανων

and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹

18:4

οστις ουν ταπεινωσει εαυτον ως το παιδιον τουτο ουτος εστιν ο μειζων εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων

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

18:5

και ος εαν δεξηται εν παιδιον τοιουτο επι τω ονοματι μου εμε δεχεται

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

18:6

Ος δ αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εις εμε συμφερει αυτω ινα κρεμασθη μυλος ονικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και καταποντισθη εν τω πελαγει της θαλασσης

but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.

18:7

Ουαι τω κοσμω απο των σκανδαλων αναγκη γαρ ελθειν τα σκανδαλα πλην ουαι τω ανθρωπω δι ου το σκανδαλον ερχεται

Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

18:8

Ει δε η χειρ σου η ο πους σου σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν εισελθειν εις την ζωην κυλλον η χωλον η δυο χειρας η δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον

And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.

18:9

και ει ο οφθαλμος σου σκανδαλιζει σε εξελε αυτον και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν μονοφθαλμον εις την ζωην εισελθειν η δυο οφθαλμους εχοντα βληθηναι εις την γεενναν του πυρος

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

18:10

Ορατε μη καταφρονησητε ενος των μικρων τουτων λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν ουρανοις δια παντος βλεπουσι το προσωπον του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις

See 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 who is in heaven.

18:12

Τι υμιν δοκει εαν γενηται τινι ανθρωπω εκατον προβατα και πλανηθη εν εξ αυτων ουχι αφησει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα επι τα ορη και πορευθεις ζητει το πλανωμενον

How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?

18:13

και εαν γενηται ευρειν αυτο αμην λεγω υμιν οτι χαιρει επ αυτω μαλλον η επι τοις ενενηκοντα εννεα τοις μη πεπλανημενοις

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

18:14

ουτως ουκ εστιν θελημα εμπροσθεν του Πατρος υμων του εν ουρανοις ινα αποληται εν των μικρων τουτων

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

18:15

Εαν δε αμαρτηση εις σε ο αδελφος σου υπαγε ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου εαν σου ακουση εκερδησας τον αδελφον σου

And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

18:16

εαν δε μη ακουση παραλαβε μετα σου ετι ενα η δυο ινα Επι στοματος δυο μαρτυρων η τριων σταθη παν ρημα

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

18:17

εαν δε παρακουση αυτων ειπε τη εκκλησια εαν δε και της εκκλησιας παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης

And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican.

18:18

Αμην λεγω υμιν οσα εαν δησητε επι της γης εσται δεδεμενα εν ουρανω και οσα εαν λυσητε επι της γης εσται λελυμενα εν ουρανω

Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

18:19

Παλιν αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εαν δυο συμφωνησωσιν εξ υμων επι της γης περι παντος πραγματος ου εαν αιτησωνται γενησεται αυτοις παρα του Πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις

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

18:20

ου γαρ εισιν δυο η τρεις συνηγμενοι εις το εμον ονομα εκει ειμι εν μεσω αυτων

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

18:21

Τοτε προσελθων ο Πετρος ειπεν αυτω Κυριε ποσακις αμαρτησει εις εμε ο αδελφος μου και αφησω αυτω εως επτακις

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

18:22

Λεγει αυτω ο Ιησους Ου λεγω σοι εως επτακις αλλα εως εβδομηκοντακις επτα

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

18:23

Δια τουτο ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει ος ηθελησεν συναραι λογον μετα των δουλων αυτου

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.

18:24

αρξαμενου δε αυτου συναιρειν προσηνεχθη αυτω εις οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων

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

18:25

μη εχοντος δε αυτου αποδουναι εκελευσεν αυτον ο κυριος πραθηναι και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και παντα οσα εχει και αποδοθηναι

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

18:26

Πεσων ουν ο δουλος προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων Μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και παντα αποδωσω σοι

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

18:27

Σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν αυτω

And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

18:28

Εξελθων δε ο δουλος εκεινος ευρεν ενα των συνδουλων αυτου ος ωφειλεν αυτω εκατον δηναρια και κρατησας αυτον επνιγεν λεγων Αποδος ει τι οφειλεις

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

18:29

Πεσων ουν ο συνδουλος αυτου παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων Μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και αποδωσω σοι

So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

18:30

Ο δε ουκ ηθελεν αλλα απελθων εβαλεν αυτον εις φυλακην εως αποδω το οφειλομενον

And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.

18:31

Ιδοντες ουν οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντες διεσαφησαν τω κυριω εαυτων παντα τα γενομενα

So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

18:32

Τοτε προσκαλεσαμενος αυτον ο κυριος αυτου λεγει αυτω Δουλε πονηρε πασαν την οφειλην εκεινην αφηκα σοι επει παρεκαλεσας με

Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:

18:33

ουκ εδει και σε ελεησαι τον συνδουλον σου ως καγω σε ηλεησα

shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

18:34

και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον τοις βασανισταις εως ου αποδω παν το οφειλομενον

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

18:35

Ουτως και ο Πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος ποιησει υμιν εαν μη αφητε εκαστος τω αδελφω αυτου απο των καρδιων υμων

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