Matthew

天国里最伟大的人

1当时，门徒进前来，问耶稣说：「天国里谁是最大的？」

2耶稣便叫一个小孩子来，使他站在他们当中，

3说：「我实在告诉你们，你们若不回转，变成小孩子的样式，断不得进天国。

4所以，凡自己谦卑像这小孩子的，他在天国里就是最大的。

5凡为我的名接待一个像这小孩子的，就是接待我。」

罪的诱惑

6「凡使这信我的一个小子跌倒的，倒不如把大磨石拴在这人的颈项上，沉在深海里。

7这世界有祸了，因为将人绊倒；绊倒人的事是免不了的，但那绊倒人的有祸了！

8倘若你一只手，或是一只脚，叫你跌倒，就砍下来丢掉。你缺一只手，或是一只脚，进入永生，强如有两手两脚被丢在永火里。

9倘若你一只眼叫你跌倒，就把它剜出来丢掉。你只有一只眼进入永生，强如有两只眼被丢在地狱的火里。」

迷羊的比喻

10「你们要小心，不可轻看这小子里的一个；我告诉你们，他们的使者在天上，常见我天父的面。

12一个人若有一百只羊，一只走迷了路，你们的意思如何？他岂不撇下这九十九只，往山里去找那只迷路的羊吗？

13若是找着了，我实在告诉你们，他为这一只羊欢喜，比为那没有迷路的九十九只欢喜还大呢！

14你们在天上的父也是这样，不愿意这小子里失丧一个。」

如何对待犯过错的弟兄

15「倘若你的弟兄得罪你，你就去，趁着只有他和你在一处的时候，指出他的错来。他若听你，你便得了你的弟兄；

16他若不听，你就另外带一两个人同去，要凭两三个人的口作见证，句句都可定准。

17若是不听他们，就告诉教会；若是不听教会，就看他像外邦人和税吏一样。

18「我实在告诉你们，凡你们在地上所捆绑的，在天上也要捆绑；凡你们在地上所释放的，在天上也要释放。

19我又告诉你们，若是你们中间有两个人在地上同心合意地求什么事，我在天上的父必为他们成全。

20因为无论在哪里，有两三个人奉我的名聚会，那里就有我在他们中间。」

不饶恕人的恶仆

21那时，彼得进前来，对耶稣说：「主啊，我弟兄得罪我，我当饶恕他几次呢？到七次可以吗？」

22耶稣说：「我对你说，不是到七次，乃是到七十个七次。

23天国好像一个王要和他仆人算帐。

24才算的时候，有人带了一个欠一千万银子的来。

25因为他没有什么偿还之物，主人吩咐把他和他妻子儿女，并一切所有的都卖了偿还。

26那仆人就俯伏拜他，说：『主啊，宽容我，将来我都要还清。』

27那仆人的主人就动了慈心，把他释放了，并且免了他的债。

28「那仆人出来，遇见他的一个同伴欠他十两银子，便揪着他，掐住他的喉咙，说：『你把所欠的还我！』

29他的同伴就俯伏央求他，说：『宽容我吧，将来我必还清。』

30他不肯，竟去把他下在监里，等他还了所欠的债。

31众同伴看见他所做的事就甚忧愁，去把这事都告诉了主人。

32于是主人叫了他来，对他说：『你这恶奴才！你央求我，我就把你所欠的都免了，

33你不应当怜恤你的同伴，像我怜恤你吗？』

34主人就大怒，把他交给掌刑的，等他还清了所欠的债。

35你们各人若不从心里饶恕你的弟兄，我天父也要这样待你们了。」

1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

6But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

7Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh.

8And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire.

9And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

10See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?

13And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.

14Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

15But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.

16And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand.

17And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

18Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, shall be loosed also in heaven.

19Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.

20For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.

23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.

24And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.

25And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.

28But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.

29And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.

31Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.

32Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

33Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?

34And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.

35So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
