Matthew 18

1 Christ warneth his disciples to be humble and harmless: 7 to avoid offences, and not to despise the little ones: 15 teacheth how we are to deal with our brethren, when they offend us: 21 and how oft to forgive them: 23 which he setteth forth by a parable of the king, that took account of his servants, 32 and punished him, who shewed no mercy to his fellow.

 18:1 ¶ At 1722 the same 1565 time 5610 came 4334 z5656 the x3588 Disciples 3101 vnto Iesus, 2424 saying, 3004 z5723 Who 5101 686 is 2076 z5748 the greatest 3187 in 1722 the x3588 Kingdome 932 of heauen? 3772

 18:2 And 2532 Iesus 2424 called 4341 z0 a little child 3813 vnto him, y4341 z5666 and x2532 set 2476 z5656 him 846 in 1722 the midst 3319 of them, 846

 18:3 And 2532 said, 2036 z5627 Uerily 281 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 Except 3362 yee be conuerted, 4762 z5652 and 2532 become 1096 z5638 as 5613 little children, 3813 yee shall y1525 z0 not 3364 enter 1525 z5632 into 1519 the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 18:4 Whosoeuer 3748 therefore 3767 shall humble 5013 z5661 himselfe 1438 as 5613 this 5124 little childe, 3813 the same 3778 is 2076 z5748 greatest 3187 in 1722 the x3588 Kingdome 932 of heauen. 3772

 18:5 And 2532 who so 3739 1437 shall receiue 1209 z5667 one 1520 such 5108 little child 3813 in 1909 my 3450 name, 3686 receiueth 1209 z5736 me. 1691

 18:6 But 1161 who so 3739 302 shall offend 4624 z5661 one 1520 of these 5130 little ones 3398 which y3588 beleeue 4100 z5723 in 1519 me, 1691 it were better 4851 z5719 for him 846 that 2443 a milstone 3458 3684 were hanged 2910 z5686 about 1909 his 846 necke, 5137 and 2532 that hee were drowned 2670 z5686 in 1722 the x3588 depth 3989 of the x3588 Sea. 2281

 18:7 ¶ Woe 3759 vnto the x3588 world 2889 because of y575 offences: 4625 for 1063 it must needs y318 be 2076 z5748 x318 that offences 4625 come: 2064 z5629 but 4133 wo 3759 to that x1565 man 444 by y1565 x1223 whom 3739 y1223 the x3588 offence 4625 commeth. 2064 z5736

 18:8 Wherefore 1161 if 1487 thy 4675 hand 5495 or 2228 thy 4675 foote 4228 offend x4624 thee, y4624 z5719 x4571 cut y1581 z0 them y846 off, 1581 z5657 x846 and 2532 cast 906 z5628 them from 575 thee: 4675 y4571 it is 2076 z5748 better 2570 for thee 4671 to enter x1525 into 1519 y1525 z5629 life 2222 halt 5560 or 2228 maimed, 2948 rather then 2228 hauing 2192 z5723 two 1417 hands 5495 or 2228 two 1417 feete, 4228 to be cast 906 z5683 into 1519 euerlasting 166 fire. 4442

 18:9 And 2532 if 1487 thine 4675 eie 3788 offend 4624 z5719 thee, 4571 plucke y1807 z0 it y846 out, 1807 z5628 x846 and 2532 cast 906 z5628 it from 575 thee: 4675 it is 2076 z5748 better 2570 for thee 4671 to enter 1525 z5629 into 1519 life 2222 with one eie, 3442 rather x2228 then y2228 hauing 2192 z5723 two 1417 eies, 3788 to be cast 906 z5683 into 1519 hell 1067 fire. 4442

 18:10 Take heed 3708 z5720 that yee despise 2706 z5661 not 3361 one 1520 of these 5130 little ones: 3398 for 1063 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 that 3754 in 1722 heauen 3772 their 846 Angels 32 do alwaies 1223 3956 behold 991 z5719 the x3588 face 4383 of my 3450 father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen. 3772

 18:11 For 1063 the x3588 sonne 5207 of man 444 is come 2064 z5627 to saue 4982 z5658 that which y3588 was lost. 622 z5756

 18:12 How 5101 thinke 1380 z5719 yee? 5213 If 1437 y5100 a x5100 man 444 haue 1096 z5638 an hundred 1540 sheepe, 4263 and 2532 one 1520 of 1537 them 846 be gone astray, 4105 z5686 doth he y863 z0 not 3780 leaue 863 z5631 the x3588 ninetie and nine, 1768 and goeth 4198 z5679 into 1909 the x3588 mountaines, 3735 and x2532 seeketh 2212 z5719 that which y3588 is gone astray? 4105 z5746

 18:13 And 2532 if x1437 so y1437 be 1096 z5638 that he find 2147 z5629 it, 846 Uerily 281 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 y3754 hee x3754 reioyceth 5463 z5719 more 3123 of 1909 that 846 sheepe, then 2228 of 1909 the x3588 ninetie and nine 1768 which y3588 went y4105 z0 not y3361 astray. 4105 z5772 x3361

 18:14 Euen so, 3779 it is 2076 z5748 not 3756 the will 2307 of 1715 your 5216 father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen, 3772 that 2443 one 1520 of these 5130 little ones 3398 should perish. 622 z5643

 18:15 ¶ Moreouer, 1161 if 1437 thy 4675 brother 80 shall trespasse 264 z5661 against 1519 thee, 4571 goe 5217 z5720 and 2532 tell y1651 z0 him y846 his fault 1651 z5657 x846 betweene 3342 thee 4675 and 2532 him 846 alone: 3441 if 1437 he shall heare 191 z5661 thee, 4675 thou hast gained 2770 z5656 thy 4675 brother. 80

 18:16 But 1161 if y3362 z0 x1437 he will y191 z0 not y3362 x3361 heare 191 z5661 thee, then take 3880 z5628 with 3326 thee 4675 one 1520 or 2228 two 1417 more, 2089 that y2443 x2243 in 1909 the mouth y4750 x4720 of two 1417 or 2228 three 5140 witnesses, 3144 euery 3956 word 4487 may be established. 2476 z5686

 18:17 And 1161 if 1437 hee shall neglect to heare 3878 z5661 them, 846 tell 2036 z5628 it vnto the x3588 Church: 1577 But 1161 y2532 if 1437 he neglect to heare 3878 z5661 the x3588 Church, 1577 let him be 2077 z5749 vnto thee 4671 as 5618 an heathen man, 1482 and 2532 a Publicane. 5057

 18:18 Uerily 281 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 Whatsoeuer 3745 1437 ye shall binde 1210 z5661 on 1909 earth, 1093 shall bee 2071 z5704 bound 1210 z5772 in 1722 heauen: 3772 and 2532 whatsoeuer 3745 1437 yee shall loose 3089 z5661 on 1909 earth, 1093 shall bee 2071 z5704 loosed 3089 z5772 in 1722 heauen. 3772

 18:19 Againe 3825 I say 3004 z5719 vnto you, 5213 that 3754 if 1437 two 1417 of you 5216 shall agree 4856 z5661 on 1909 earth 1093 as touching 4012 any 3956 thing 4229 that 3739 1437 they shall aske, 154 z5672 it shall bee done 1096 z5695 for them 846 of 3844 my 3450 father 3962 which 3588 is in 1722 heauen. 3772

 18:20 For 1063 where 3757 two 1417 or 2228 three 5140 are 1526 z5748 gathered together 4863 z5772 in 1519 my 1699 Name, 3686 there 1563 am x1510 I y1510 z5748 in 1722 the midst 3319 of them. 846

 18:21 ¶ Then 5119 came 4334 z5631 Peter 4074 to him, 846 and said, 2036 z5627 Lord, 2962 how oft 4212 shall my 3450 brother 80 sinne 264 z5692 against 1519 mee, 1691 and 2532 I forgiue 863 z5692 him? 846 till 2193 seuen times? 2034

 18:22 Iesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 I say 3004 z5719 not 3756 vnto thee, 4671 Untill 2193 seuen times: 2034 but, y235 Untill 2193 seuentie times 1441 seuen. 2033

 18:23 ¶ Therefore 1223 5124 is the x3588 kingdome 932 of heauen 3772 likened y3666 z5681 vnto x3666 a certaine y444 king, 935 x444 which 3739 would 2309 z5656 take 4868 z5658 accompt 3056 of 3326 his y846 x848 seruants. 1401

 18:24 And 1161 when hee 846 had begun 756 z5671 to reckon, 4868 z5721 one 1520 was brought 4374 z5681 vnto him 846 which ought 3781 him y846 ten thousand 3463 talents. 5007

 18:25 But x1161 forasmuch as y1161 hee 846 had 2192 z5723 not 3361 to pay, 591 z5629 his 846 lord 2962 commanded 2753 z5656 him 846 to bee sold, 4097 z5683 and 2532 his 846 wife, 1135 and 2532 children, 5043 and 2532 all 3956 that y3745 he x3745 had, 2192 z5707 and 2532 payment to be made. 591 z5683

 18:26 The x3588 seruant 1401 therfore 3767 fell downe, 4098 z5631 and worshipped 4352 z5707 him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 Lord, 2962 haue patience 3114 z5657 with 1909 mee, 1698 and 2532 I will pay 591 z5692 thee 4671 all. 3956

 18:27 Then 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 of that 1565 seruant 1401 was moued with compassion, 4697 z5679 and loosed 630 z5656 him, 846 and 2532 forgaue 863 z5656 him 846 the x3588 debt. 1156

 18:28 But 1161 the x3588 same 1565 seruant 1401 went out, 1831 z5631 and found 2147 z5627 one 1520 of his 846 fellow-seruants, 4889 which 3739 ought 3784 z5707 him 846 an x1540 hundred y1540 pence: 1220 and 2532 hee layd handes 2902 z5660 on him, 846 and tooke him by the throte, 4155 z5707 saying, 3004 z5723 Pay 591 z5628 mee 3427 that 3748 thou owest. 3784 z5719

 18:29 And 3767 his 846 fellow seruant 4889 fell downe 4098 z5631 at 1519 his 846 feete, 4228 and besought 3870 z5707 him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 Haue patience 3114 z5657 with 1909 me, 1698 and 2532 I will pay 591 z5692 thee 4671 all. 3956

 18:30 And 1161 he x3588 would 2309 z5707 not: 3756 but 235 went 565 z5631 and cast 906 z5627 him 846 into 1519 prison, 5438 till 2193 y3757 hee should x3757 pay 591 z5632 the x3588 debt. 3784 z5746

 18:31 So 1161 when his 846 fellow-seruants 4889 saw 1492 z5631 what was done, 1096 z5637 they were very y4970 sorie, 3076 z5681 x4970 and 2532 came, 2064 z5631 and told 1285 z5656 vnto their y846 x848 lord 2962 all 3956 that was done. 1096 z5637

 18:32 Then 5119 his 846 lord, 2962 after that hee had called 4341 z5666 him, 846 said 3004 z5719 vnto him, 846 O thou wicked 4190 seruant, 1401 I forgaue 863 z5656 thee 4671 all 3956 that 1565 debt 3782 because 1893 thou desiredst 3870 z5656 me: 3165

 18:33 Shouldest 1163 z5713 not 3756 thou 4571 also 2532 haue had compassion 1653 z5658 on thy 4675 fellow-seruant, 4889 euen 2532 as 5613 I 1473 had pitie 1653 z5656 on thee? 4571

 18:34 And 2532 his 846 lord 2962 was wroth, 3710 z5685 and deliuered 3860 z5656 him 846 to the x3588 tormentors, 930 till 2193 y3757 hee x3739 should pay 591 z5632 all 3956 that was due 3784 z5746 vnto him. 846

 18:35 So y3779 likewise x3779 shall my 3450 heauenly 2032 Father 3962 doe 4160 z5692 also 2532 vnto you, 5213 if 3362 z0 yee from 575 your 5216 hearts 2588 forgiue 863 z5632 not 3362 euery one 1538 his y846 x848 brother 80 their 846 trespasses. 3900
