Matthew 17

1

And after six days Jesus takes with [him] Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.

2

And he was transfigured before them. And his face shone as the sun, and his garments became white as the light;

3

and lo, Moses and Elias appeared to them talking with him.

4

And Peter answering said to Jesus, Lord, it is good we should be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles: for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elias.

5

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, *This* is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

6

And the disciples hearing [it] fell upon their faces, and were greatly terrified.

7

And Jesus coming to [them] touched them, and said, Rise up, and be not terrified.

8

And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.

9

And as they descended from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, until the Son of man be risen up from among [the] dead.

10

And [his] disciples demanded of him saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first have come?

11

And he answering said to them, Elias indeed comes first and will restore all things.

12

But I say unto you that Elias has already come, and they have not known him, but have done unto him whatever they would. Thus also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.

13

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.

14

And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, falling on his knees before him, and saying,

15

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic, and suffers sorely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

16

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

17

And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.

18

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.

19

Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said [to him], Why were not *we* able to cast him out?

20

And he says to them, Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard [seed], ye shall say to this mountain, Be transported hence there, and it shall transport itself; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

21

But this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

22

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered up into [the] hands of men,

23

and they shall kill him; and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were greatly grieved.

24

And when they came to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your teacher not pay the didrachmas?

25

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What dost thou think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom or tribute? from their own sons or from strangers?

26

Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

27

But that we may not be an offence to them, go to the sea and cast a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and when thou hast opened its mouth thou wilt find a stater; take that and give it to them for me and thee.

Matthew 18

1

In that hour the disciples came to Jesus saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?

2

And Jesus having called a little child to [him], set it in their midst,

3

and said, Verily I say to you, Unless ye are converted and become as little children, ye will not at all enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

4

Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, *he* is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens;

5

and whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receives me.

6

But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were profitable for him that a great millstone had been hanged upon his neck and he be sunk in the depths of the sea.

7

Woe to the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come; yet woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

8

And if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut it off and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life lame or maimed, [rather] than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

9

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast [it] from thee; it is good for thee to enter into life one-eyed, [rather] than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.

10

See that ye do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you that their angels in [the] heavens continually behold the face of my Father who is in [the] heavens.

11

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

12

What think ye? If a certain man should have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine on the mountains, go and seek the one that has gone astray?

13

And if it should come to pass that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more because of it than because of the ninety and nine not gone astray.

14

So it is not the will of your Father who is in [the] heavens that one of these little ones should perish.

15

But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16

But if he do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.

17

But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.

18

Verily I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever ye shall loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19

Again I say to you, that if two of you shall agree on the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever it may be that they shall ask, it shall come to them from my Father who is in [the] heavens.

20

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

21

Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?

22

Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

23

For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.

24

And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.

25

But he not having anything to pay, [his] lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.

26

The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.

27

And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.

28

But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay [me] if thou owest anything.

29

His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down [at his feet], besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

30

But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.

31

But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

32

Then his lord, having called him to [him], says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;

33

shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as *I* also had compassion on thee?

34

And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.

35

Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one his brother.

Matthew 19

1

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;

2

and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3

And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4

But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,

5

and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?

6

so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.

7

They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?

8

He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.

9

But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.

10

His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11

And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;

12

for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

13

Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

14

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

15

and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

16

And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal?

17

And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.

18

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19

Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20

The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?

21

Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

22

But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.

23

And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;

24

and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.

25

And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?

26

But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27

Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, *we* have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?

28

And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That *ye* who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, *ye* also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29

And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal.

30

But many first shall be last, and last first.
