Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælorum?
1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2Et advocans Jesus parvulum, statuit eum in medio eorum,
2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi conversi fueritis, et efficiamini sicut parvuli, non intrabitis in regnum cælorum.
3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4Quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste, hic est major in regno cælorum.
4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5Et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo, me suscipit:
5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo ejus, et demergatur in profundum maris.
6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7Væ mundo a scandalis ! Necesse est enim ut veniant scandala: verumtamen væ homini illi, per quem scandalum venit.
7¶ Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalizat te, abscide eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem, vel claudum, quam duas manus vel duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem æternum.
8Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9Et si oculus tuus scandalizat te, erue eum, et projice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno oculo in vitam intrare, quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis.
9And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10Videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis: dico enim vobis, quia angeli eorum in cælis semper vident faciem Patris mei, qui in cælis est.
10Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11Venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat.
11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12Quid vobis videtur? si fuerint alicui centum oves, et erravit una ex eis: nonne relinquit nonaginta novem in montibus, et vadit quærere eam quæ erravit?
12How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13Et si contigerit ut inveniat eam: amen dico vobis, quia gaudet super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem, quæ non erraverunt.
13And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep , than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14Sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum, qui in cælis est, ut pereat unus de pusillis istis.
14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15Si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus, vade, et corripe eum inter te, et ipsum solum: si te audierit, lucratus eris fratrem tuum.
15¶ Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16Si autem te non audierit, adhibe tecum adhuc unum, vel duos, ut in ore duorum, vel trium testium stet omne verbum.
16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17Quod si non audierit eos: dic ecclesiæ. Si autem ecclesiam non audierit, sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus.
17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18Amen dico vobis, quæcumque alligaveritis super terram, erunt ligata et in cælo: et quæcumque solveritis super terram, erunt soluta et in cælo.
18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19Iterum dico vobis, quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram, de omni re quamcumque petierint, fiet illis a Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
20Ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo, ibi sum in medio eorum.
20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21Tunc accedens Petrus ad eum, dixit: Domine, quoties peccabit in me frater meus, et dimittam ei? usque septies?
21¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22Dicit illi Jesus: Non dico tibi usque septies: sed usque septuagies septies.
22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23Ideo assimilatum est regnum cælorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.
23¶ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24Et cum cœpisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.
24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, jussit eum dominus ejus venundari, et uxorem ejus, et filios, et omnia quæ habebat, et reddi.
25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.
27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios: et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens: Redde quod debes.
28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29Et procidens conservus ejus, rogabat eum, dicens: Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.
29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30Ille autem noluit: sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31Videntes autem conservi ejus quæ fiebant, contristati sunt valde: et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quæ facta fuerant.
31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me:
32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?
33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34Et iratus dominus ejus tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.
34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35Sic et Pater meus cælestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.
35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
