| Vers | Greek NT: Westcott/Hort, UBS4 variants † | English: King James Version |
| 1 | εν εκεινη τη ωρα προσηλθον οι μαθηται τω ιησου λεγοντες τις αρα μειζων εστιν εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων | At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? |
| 2 | και προσκαλεσαμενος παιδιον εστησεν αυτο εν μεσω αυτων | And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, |
| 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 be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
| 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 greatest in the kingdom of heaven. |
| 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. |
| 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 offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. |
| 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 offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! |
| 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 | Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. |
| 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 offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. |
| 10 | ορατε μη καταφρονησητε ενος των μικρων τουτων λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι οι αγγελοι αυτων εν ουρανοις δια παντος βλεπουσιν το προσωπον του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις 18:11 | Take heed 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 which is in heaven. |
| 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 a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? |
| 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 more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. |
| 14 | ουτως ουκ εστιν θελημα εμπροσθεν του πατρος {VAR1: μου } {VAR2: υμων } του εν ουρανοις ινα αποληται εν των μικρων τουτων | Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. |
| 15 | εαν δε αμαρτηση {VAR2: [εις σε] } ο αδελφος σου υπαγε ελεγξον αυτον μεταξυ σου και αυτου μονου εαν σου ακουση εκερδησας τον αδελφον σου | 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. |
| 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 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. |
| 17 | εαν δε παρακουση αυτων {VAR1: ειπον } {VAR2: ειπε } τη εκκλησια εαν δε και της εκκλησιας παρακουση εστω σοι ωσπερ ο εθνικος και ο τελωνης | 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. |
| 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, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. |
| 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 any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. |
| 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. |
| 21 | τοτε προσελθων ο πετρος ειπεν {VAR1: [αυτω] } {VAR2: αυτω } κυριε ποσακις αμαρτησει εις εμε ο αδελφος μου και αφησω αυτω εως επτακις | Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? |
| 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. |
| 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, which would take account of his servants. |
| 24 | αρξαμενου δε αυτου συναιρειν {VAR1: προσηχθη εις αυτω } {VAR2: προσηνεχθη αυτω εις } οφειλετης μυριων ταλαντων | And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. |
| 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 to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. |
| 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. |
| 27 | σπλαγχνισθεις δε ο κυριος του δουλου {VAR1: [εκεινου] } {VAR2: εκεινου } απελυσεν αυτον και το δανειον αφηκεν αυτω | Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. |
| 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 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. |
| 29 | πεσων ουν ο συνδουλος αυτου παρεκαλει αυτον λεγων μακροθυμησον επ εμοι και αποδωσω σοι | And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. |
| 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 the debt. |
| 31 | ιδοντες ουν οι συνδουλοι αυτου τα γενομενα ελυπηθησαν σφοδρα και ελθοντες διεσαφησαν τω κυριω εαυτων παντα τα γενομενα | So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. |
| 32 | τοτε προσκαλεσαμενος αυτον ο κυριος αυτου λεγει αυτω δουλε πονηρε πασαν την οφειλην εκεινην αφηκα σοι επει παρεκαλεσας με | 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: |
| 33 | ουκ εδει και σε ελεησαι τον συνδουλον σου ως καγω σε ηλεησα | Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? |
| 34 | και οργισθεις ο κυριος αυτου παρεδωκεν αυτον τοις βασανισταις εως {VAR1: [ου] } {VAR2: ου } αποδω παν το οφειλομενον | And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. |
| 35 | ουτως και ο πατηρ μου ο ουρανιος ποιησει υμιν εαν μη αφητε εκαστος τω αδελφω αυτου απο των καρδιων υμων | So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. |
| 11 | For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. |
