In that hour the disciples came near to Y'shua and say, Who then is great in the kingdom of heaven?

And Y'shua called a child and set him in their midst,

and said, Amen, I say to you, that unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Whoever then humbles himself like this child, he will be great in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever receives one like this child in my name receives me.

And everyone who causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a millstone of a donkey be hung on his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Woe to the world from the stumbling blocks! For it is necessary that stumbling blocks come. But woe to the man by whose hand the stumbling blocks come.

But if your hand or your foot makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life while you are lame or while maimed, and not, while you have two hands or two feet, fall into the fire of forever.

And if it is that your eye makes you stumble, dig it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, and not, while you have two eyes, fall into the gehenna of fire.

See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I say to you that their messengers in heaven at all times see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man has come to give life to that which was lost.

How does it appear to you? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go seek the one that went astray?

And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices in it more than in the ninety-nine that did not stray.

So it is not the will before your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

But if your brother sins against you, go reprove him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

And if he does not hear you, take with you one or two, so that on the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

And if he will not hear them either, tell it to the church. And if he will not hear the church either, let him be to you as a tax collector and as a pagan.

I tell you truly that whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Again I say to you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning every matter that they will ask, it will be theirs from my Father who is in heaven.

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

Then Keefa came near to him and said, my Master, how many times if my brother sins against me shall I forgive him? up to seven times?

Y'shua said to him, I do not say to you up to seven, but up to seventy times seven.

Because of this the kingdom of heaven has been likened to a man, a king, who wanted to take account from his servants.

And when he began to take, they brought to him one who owed ten thousand talents.

And when he had nothing with which to pay, his master ordered that he be sold, him and his wife and his children and everything he had, and payment be made.

And that servant fell down and bowed to him and said, My master, give me time, and I will pay you everything.

And the master of that servant had compassion and released him and forgave him his debt.

Then that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred denarii. And he seized him and was choking him and said to him, Give me what you owe me.

And that fellow-servant fell at his feet and begged him and said to him, Give me time, and I will pay you.

But he was not willing, but went and threw him into prison until he would give him what he owed him.

And when their fellow-servants saw what had happened, it grieved them greatly; and they came and made known to their master all that had happened.

Then his master called him and said to him: Evil servant! I forgave you that whole debt because you begged me.

Was it not right for you also to have compassion on your fellow-servant, as I had compassion on you?

And his master was angry and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all he owed him.

So will my Father who is in heaven do to you, unless you forgive each his brother his offence from your heart.
