4Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. *
5Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, *
6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea. *

7“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! *
8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. *

9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna * of fire. *
10See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. *
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. *
12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? *
13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. *
14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. *
15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. *

25But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. *
26The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’ *
27The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt. *
28“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, * and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ *

32Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. *
