18:1 in illa hora accesserunt discipuli      1.  At the same time came the disciples
ad Iesum dicentes quis putas maior est       unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest
in regno caelorum                            in the kingdom of heaven?
                                             
18:2 et advocans Iesus parvulum statuit      2.  And Jesus called a little child
eum in medio eorum                           unto him, and set him in the midst of
                                             them,
                                             
18:3 et dixit amen dico vobis nisi           3.  And said, Verily I say unto you,
conversi fueritis et efficiamini sicut       Except ye be converted, and become as
parvuli non intrabitis in regnum             little children, ye shall not enter
caelorum                                     into the kingdom of heaven.
                                             
18:4 quicumque ergo humiliaverit se          4.  Whosoever therefore shall humble
sicut parvulus iste hic est maior in         himself as this little child, the same
regno caelorum                               is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
                                             
18:5 et qui susceperit unum parvulum         5.  And whoso shall receive one such
talem in nomine meo me suscipit              little child in my name receiveth me.
                                             
18:6 qui autem scandalizaverit unum de       6.  But whoso shall offend one of these
pusillis istis qui in me credunt             little ones which believe in me, it
expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria      were better for him that a millstone
in collo eius et demergatur in               were hanged about his neck, and that he
profundum maris                              were drowned in the depth of the sea.
                                             
18:7 vae mundo ab scandalis necesse est      7.  Woe unto the world because of
enim ut veniant scandala verumtamen vae      offences! for it must needs be that
homini per quem scandalum venit              offences come; but woe to that man by
                                             whom the offence cometh!
                                             
18:8 si autem manus tua vel pes tuus         8.  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot
scandalizat te abscide eum et proice         offend thee, cut them off, and cast
abs te bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi       them from thee: it is better for thee
debilem vel clodum quam duas manus vel       to enter into life halt or maimed,
duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem           rather than having two hands or two
aeternum                                     feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
                                             
18:9 et si oculus tuus scandalizat te        9.  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck
erue eum et proice abs te bonum tibi         it out, and cast it from thee: it is
est unoculum in vitam intrare quam duos      better for thee to enter into life with
oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis      one eye, rather than having two eyes to
                                             be cast into hell fire.
                                             
18:10 videte ne contemnatis unum ex his      10.  Take heed that ye despise not one
pusillis dico enim vobis quia angeli         of these little ones; for I say unto
eorum in caelis semper vident faciem         you, That in heaven their angels do
Patris mei qui in caelis est                 always behold the face of my Father
                                             which is in heaven.
                                             
18:11 venit enim Filius hominis salvare      11.  For the Son of man is come to save
quod perierat                                that which was lost.
                                             
18:12 quid vobis videtur si fuerint          12.  How think ye? if a man have an
alicui centum oves et erraverit una ex       hundred sheep, and one of them be gone
eis nonne relinquet nonaginta novem in       astray, doth he not leave the ninety
montibus et vadit quaerere eam quae          and nine, and goeth into the mountains,
erravit                                      and seeketh that which is gone astray?
                                             
18:13 et si contigerit ut inveniat eam       13.  And if so be that he find it,
amen dico vobis quia gaudebit super eam      verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
magis quam super nonaginta novem quae        more of that sheep, than of the ninety
non erraverunt                               and nine which went not astray.
                                             
18:14 sic non est voluntas ante Patrem       14.  Even so it is not the will of your
vestrum qui in caelis est ut pereat          Father which is in heaven, that one of
unus de pusillis istis                       these little ones should perish.
                                             
18:15 si autem peccaverit in te frater       15.  Moreover if thy brother shall
tuus vade et corripe eum inter te et         trespass against thee, go and tell him
ipsum solum si te audierit lucratus es       his fault between thee and him alone:
fratrem tuum                                 if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
                                             thy brother.
                                             
18:16 si autem non te audierit adhibe        16.  But if he will not hear thee, then
tecum adhuc unum vel duos ut in ore          take with thee one or two more, that in
duorum testium vel trium stet omne           the mouth of two or three witnesses
verbum                                       every word may be established.
                                             
18:17 quod si non audierit eos dic           17.  And if he shall neglect to hear
ecclesiae si autem et ecclesiam non          them, tell it unto the church: but if
audierit sit tibi sicut ethnicus et          he neglect to hear the church, let him
publicanus                                   be unto thee as an heathen man and a
                                             publican.
                                             
18:18 amen dico vobis quaecumque             18.  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever
alligaveritis super terram erunt ligata      ye shall bind on earth shall be bound
et in caelo et quaecumque solveritis         in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall
super terram erunt soluta et in caelo        loose on earth shall be loosed in
                                             heaven.
                                             
18:19 iterum dico vobis quia si duo ex       19.  Again I say unto you, That if two
vobis consenserint super terram de omni      of you shall agree on earth as touching
re quacumque petierint fiet illis a          any thing that they shall ask, it shall
Patre meo qui in caelis est                  be done for them of my Father which is
                                             in heaven.
                                             
18:20 ubi enim sunt duo vel tres             20.  For where two or three are
congregati in nomine meo ibi sum in          gathered together in my name, there am
medio eorum                                  I in the midst of them.
                                             
18:21 tunc accedens Petrus ad eum dixit      21.  Then came Peter to him, and said,
Domine quotiens peccabit in me frater        Lord, how oft shall my brother sin
meus et dimittam ei usque septies            against me, and I forgive him? till
                                             seven times?
                                             
18:22 dicit illi Iesus non dico tibi         22.  Jesus saith unto him, I say not
usque septies sed usque septuagies           unto thee, Until seven times: but,
septies                                      Until seventy times seven.
                                             
18:23 ideo adsimilatum est regnum            23.  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
caelorum homini regi qui voluit              likened unto a certain king, which
rationem ponere cum servis suis              would take account of his servants.
                                             
18:24 et cum coepisset rationem ponere       24.  And when he had begun to reckon,
oblatus est ei unus qui debebat decem        one was brought unto him, which owed
milia talenta                                him ten thousand talents.
                                             
18:25 cum autem non haberet unde             25.  But forasmuch as he had not to
redderet iussit eum dominus venundari        pay, his lord commanded him to be sold,
et uxorem eius et filios et omnia quae       and his wife, and children, and all
habebat et reddi                             that he had, and payment to be made.
                                             
18:26 procidens autem servus ille            26.  The servant therefore fell down,
orabat eum dicens patientiam habe in me      and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have
et omnia reddam tibi                         patience with me, and I will pay thee
                                             all.
                                             
18:27 misertus autem dominus servi           27.  Then the lord of that servant was
illius dimisit eum et debitum dimisit ei     moved with compassion, and loosed him,
                                             and forgave him the debt.
                                             
18:28 egressus autem servus ille             28.  But the same servant went out, and
invenit unum de conservis suis qui           found one of his fellowservants, which
debebat ei centum denarios et tenens         owed him an hundred pence: and he laid
suffocabat eum dicens redde quod debes       hands on him, and took him by the
                                             throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
                                             
18:29 et procidens conservus eius            29.  And his fellowservant fell down at
rogabat eum dicens patientiam habe in        his feet, and besought him, saying,
me et omnia reddam tibi                      Have patience with me, and I will pay
                                             thee all.
                                             
18:30 ille autem noluit sed abiit et         30.  And he would not: but went and
misit eum in carcerem donec redderet         cast him into prison, till he should
debitum                                      pay the debt.
                                             
18:31 videntes autem conservi eius quae      31.  So when his fellowservants saw
fiebant contristati sunt valde et            what was done, they were very sorry,
venerunt et narraverunt domino suo           and came and told unto their lord all
omnia quae facta erant                       that was done.
                                             
18:32 tunc vocavit illum dominus suus        32.  Then his lord, after that he had
et ait illi serve nequam omne debitum        called him, said unto him, O thou
dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me               wicked servant, I forgave thee all that
                                             debt, because thou desiredst me:
                                             
18:33 non ergo oportuit et te misereri       33.  Shouldest not thou also have had
conservi tui sicut et ego tui misertus       compassion on thy fellowservant, even
sum                                          as I had pity on thee?
                                             
18:34 et iratus dominus eius tradidit        34.  And his lord was wroth, and
eum tortoribus quoadusque redderet           delivered him to the tormentors, till
universum debitum                            he should pay all that was due unto him.
                                             
18:35 sic et Pater meus caelestis            35.  So likewise shall my heavenly
faciet vobis si non remiseritis              Father do also unto you, if ye from
unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus           your hearts forgive not every one his
vestris                                      brother their trespasses.
