18 In that the hour the apprentices/followers approached to_ the _Yaʸsous saying:
Who consequently is the_greater in the kingdom of _the heavens?
2 And having _called _to a_little _child, he _stood it in midst of _them 3 and said:
Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, if you _all _may_ not _be _turned and may _become as the little _children, by _no _means you _all _may_ not _come _in into the kingdom of _the heavens.
4 Therefore whoever will _be _humbling himself as the this little _child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of _the heavens.
5 And whoever if may _receive one such little _child in the name of _me, is _receiving me.
6 But whoever wishfully may _stumble one of_ the these _little ones which believing in me, it _is _benefitting for _him that a_ heavy _grinding _stone may _be _hanged around the neck of _him, and may _be _sunk in the depth of _the sea.
7 Woe to _the world because _of the temptations.
For/Because it _is necessity the temptations to _come, however woe to _the that person by whom the temptation is _coming.
8 And if the hand of _you or the foot of _you is _stumbling you, cut_ it _off and throw it from you, it _is better for _you to _come _in into the life maimed or lame, than to _be _thrown into the the eternal fire having two hands or two feet.
9 And if the eye of _you is _stumbling you, pluck _out it and throw it from you, it _is better for _you to _come _in into the life one-eyed, than to _be _thrown into the geenna of_ the _fire having two eyes.
10 Be _seeing you _all _may_ not _despise of _one of_ the these _little ones, because/for I _am _saying to _you _all that the messengers of _them in the_heavens, through everything are _seeing the face of _the father of _me, who is in the_heavens.
11  12 What is _it _supposing to _you _all?
If it _may _become to_a_certain man a_hundred sheep, and one of them may _be _strayed, not, having _left the ninety nine on the mountains and having _been _gone, is _seeking the sheep being _strayed?
13 And if he _may _become to _find it, truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that he _is _rejoicing over it more than over the ninety nine which not having _been _strayed.
14 Thus is not the_will before the father of _you _all, who is in the_heavens, that may _perish one of_ the these _little ones.
15 And if the brother of _you may _sin, be _going, rebuke him between you and him only.
If he _may _hear from _you, you _gained the brother of _you.
16 But if he _may_ not _hear, take one or two more with you in _order _that on the_mouth of _two or three witnesses, every message may _be _established.
17 And if he _may _refuse _to _hear from _them, tell to _the assembly.
And if he _may_ also _refuse _to _hear from _the assembly, him _let _be to _you as the pagan and the tax _collector.
18 Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, as _much _as wishfully you _all _may _bind on the earth, will _be having _been _bound in heaven, and as _much _as if you _all _may _untie/release on the earth, will _be having _been _untied/released in heaven.
19 Again truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that if two of you _all on the earth may _agree _together concerning any matter, of _whatever if they _may _request, it _will _be _becoming for _them by the father of _me, who is in the_heavens.
20 For/Because where are two or three having _been _gathered _together in the my name, there I _am in the_midst of _them.
21 Then the Petros having _approached, said to _him:
master, how _often ˓will˒_ the brother of _me _be _sinning against me, and I _will _be _forgiving to _him?
Up _to seven _times?
22 The Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) is _saying to _him:
I _am_ not _saying to _you up _to seven _times, but up _to seventy _times seven.
23 Because _of this the kingdom of _the heavens was _likened to_a_man, a_king, who wanted to _settle _accounts account with the slaves of _him.
24 And of _him having _begun to _be _settling _accounts, one a_debtor of _ten _thousand talantons_of _silver was _brought to _him.
25 But of _him not having means to _give _back, the master commanded him to _be _sold, and the wife, and the children, and all things as _many _as was _having, and payment to _be _given _back.
26 Therefore the slave having _fallen, was _prostrating to _him saying:
Master, be _patient with me, and I _will _be _giving_ all things _back to _you.
27 And the master having _been _feeling _compassion, of_ the that _slave sent_ him _away, and he _forgave the loan to _him.
28 But the that slave having _come _out, found one of _the fellow-slaves of _him, who was _owing a_hundred daʸnarion_coins to _him, and having _apprehended him, he _was _strangling him saying:
Give _back if anything you _are _owing.
29 Therefore the fellow-slave of _him having _fallen, was _imploring him saying:
Be _patient with me, and I _will _be _giving _back to _you.
30 And which he _was_ not _willing, but having _gone _away, he _throw him into prison, until he _may _give _back the thing being _owed.
31 Therefore the fellow-slaves of _him, having _seen the things having _become, they _were_ exceedingly _sorrowed, and having _come they _explained to _the master of _themselves all the things having _become.
32 Then the master of _him, having _called _to him, is _saying to _him:
Evil slave, I _forgave to _you all that the obligation, because you _implored me.
33 Not was _it _fitting you also to _show _mercy to _the fellow-slave of _you, as also _I shown _mercy to _you?
34 And the master of _him having _been _angered, gave_ him _over to _the tormentors, until of _which he _may _give _back everything which being _owed to _him.
35 Thus also the the heavenly father of _me will _be _doing to _you _all, if you _all _may_ not _forgive each to _the brother of _him from the hearts of _you _all.
