马太福音 18
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
天國裡誰最大(A)
18 那時,門徒前來問耶穌:“天國裡誰是最大的呢?” 2 耶穌叫了一個小孩子站在他們當中,說: 3 “我實在告訴你們,如果你們不回轉,變成像小孩子一樣,一定不能進天國。 4 所以,凡謙卑像這小孩子的,他在天國裡是最大的。 5 凡因我的名接待一個這樣的小孩子的,就是接待我; 6 但無論誰使一個信我的小弟兄犯罪,倒不如拿一塊大磨石拴在他的頸項上,把他沉在深海裡。
堅拒使人犯罪(B)
7 “這世界有禍了,因為充滿使人犯罪的事。這些事是免不了的,但那使人犯罪的有禍了! 8 如果你的一隻手或一隻腳使你犯罪,就把它砍下來丟掉;你一隻手或一隻腳進永生,總比有兩隻手或兩隻腳被投進永火裡好。 9 如果你的一隻眼睛使你犯罪,就把它挖出來丟掉;你一隻眼睛進永生,總比有兩隻眼睛被投進地獄的火裡好。
迷羊的比喻(C)
10 “你們要小心,不要輕視這些小弟兄中的一個。我告訴你們,他們的使者在天上,常常見到我天父的面。(有些抄本有第11節:“人子來,是要拯救失喪的人。”) 12 你們認為怎樣?有一個人,他有一百隻羊,如果失了一隻,他會不把九十九隻留在山上,去尋找那迷失的嗎? 13 我實在告訴你們,他若找到了,就為這一隻羊歡喜,勝過為那九十九隻沒有迷失的。 14 照樣,你們在天上的父是不願意這些小弟兄中有一個失喪的。
怎樣對待犯了罪的弟兄
15 “如果你的弟兄犯了罪(“犯了罪”有些抄本作“得罪你”),你趁著和他單獨在一起的時候,要去指出他的過失來。如果他肯聽,你就得著你的弟兄。 16 如果他不肯聽,就另外帶一兩個人同去,好使一切話,憑兩三個證人的口,可以確定。 17 如果他再不聽,就告訴教會;如果連教會他也不聽,就把他看作教外人和稅吏吧。
18 “我實在告訴你們,你們在地上捆綁的,在天上也被捆綁;你們在地上釋放的,在天上也被釋放。 19 我又告訴你們,你們當中若有兩個人,在地上同心為甚麼事祈求,我在天上的父必為他們成全。 20 因為無論在哪裡,有兩三個人奉我的名聚會,我就在他們中間。”
不饒恕人的也得不著饒恕
21 那時,彼得前來問耶穌:“主啊,如果我的弟兄得罪我,我要饒恕他多少次?七次嗎?” 22 耶穌對他說:“我告訴你,不是七次,而是七十個七次(“七十個七次”或譯:“七十七次”)。 23 因此,天國好像一個王,要和他的僕人算帳, 24 剛算的時候,有人帶了一個欠下六千萬銀幣的人來。 25 他沒有錢償還,主人就下令叫人把他和他的妻子兒女,以及一切所有的都賣掉,用來償還。 26 那僕人就跪下拜他,說:‘請寬容我,我會把一切還給你的。’ 27 主人動了慈心,把那僕人放了,並且免了他的債。 28 那僕人出來,遇見一個欠了他一百個銀幣的僕人,就抓住他,扼著他的喉嚨,說:‘把你欠我的錢還給我。’ 29 那和他一同作僕人的就跪下求他,說:‘請寬容我,我會還給你的。’ 30 他卻不肯,反而把他帶走,關在監裡,等他把所欠的還清。 31 其他的僕人看見這事,非常難過,就去向主人報告這一切事情。 32 於是主人叫他來,對他說:‘你這個惡僕,你求我,我就免了你欠我的一切。 33 難道你不應該憐憫你的同伴,好像我憐憫你一樣嗎?’ 34 於是主人大怒,把他送去服刑,等他把所欠的一切還清。 35 如果你們各人不從心裡饒恕你的弟兄,我的天父也必這樣待你們。”
Mateo 18
La Biblia de las Américas
El mayor en el reino de los cielos
18 (A)En aquel momento[a] se acercaron los discípulos a Jesús, diciendo: ¿Quién es, entonces, el mayor en el reino de los cielos? 2 Y Él, llamando a un niño, lo puso en medio de ellos, 3 y dijo: En verdad os digo que si no os convertís[b] y os hacéis como niños(B), no entraréis en el reino de los cielos. 4 Así pues, cualquiera que se humille como este niño, ese es el mayor en el reino de los cielos. 5 Y el que reciba a un niño como este[c] en mi nombre, a mí me recibe. 6 Pero al que(C) haga tropezar[d] a uno de estos pequeñitos que creen en mí(D), mejor le sería que le colgaran al cuello una piedra de molino de las que mueve un asno, y que se ahogara en lo profundo del mar.
¡Ay de los que son piedras de tropiezo!
7 ¡Ay del mundo por sus piedras de tropiezo! Porque es inevitable que vengan piedras de tropiezo(E); pero ¡ay de aquel hombre por quien viene el tropiezo! 8 Y si tu mano o tu pie te es ocasión de pecar[e], córtatelo y échalo de ti; te es mejor entrar en la vida manco o cojo, que teniendo dos manos y dos pies, ser echado en el fuego eterno(F). 9 Y si tu ojo te es ocasión de pecar[f], arráncatelo y échalo de ti. Te es mejor entrar en la vida con un solo ojo, que teniendo dos ojos, ser echado en el infierno[g] de fuego(G).
10 Mirad que no despreciéis a uno de estos pequeñitos, porque os digo que sus ángeles en los cielos contemplan siempre el rostro de mi Padre(H) que está en los cielos. 11 [h]Porque el Hijo del Hombre ha venido a salvar lo que se había perdido(I).
Parábola de la oveja perdida
12 ¿Qué os parece? (J)Si un hombre tiene cien ovejas y una de ellas se ha descarriado, ¿no deja las noventa y nueve en los montes, y va en busca de la descarriada? 13 Y si sucede que la halla, en verdad os digo que se regocija más por esta que por las noventa y nueve que no se han descarriado. 14 Así, no es la voluntad de[i] vuestro Padre que está en los cielos que se pierda uno de estos pequeñitos.
Sobre la exhortación y la oración
15 Y si tu hermano peca[j](K), ve y repréndelo a solas[k]; si te escucha, has ganado a tu hermano. 16 Pero si no te escucha, lleva contigo a uno o a dos más, para que toda palabra sea confirmada por boca de dos o tres testigos(L). 17 Y si rehúsa escucharlos, dilo a la iglesia(M); y si también rehúsa escuchar a la iglesia, sea para ti como el gentil(N) y el recaudador de impuestos[l]. 18 En verdad os digo: todo lo que atéis[m] en la tierra, será[n] atado en el cielo; y todo lo que desatéis[o] en la tierra, será[p] desatado en el cielo(O). 19 Además os digo, que si dos de vosotros se ponen de acuerdo sobre cualquier cosa que pidan aquí en la tierra, les será hecho por[q] mi Padre(P) que está en los cielos. 20 Porque donde están dos o tres reunidos en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos(Q).
Importancia del perdón
21 Entonces se le acercó Pedro, y le dijo: Señor, ¿cuántas veces pecará mi hermano contra mí(R) que yo haya de perdonarlo? ¿Hasta siete veces(S)? 22 Jesús le dijo*: No te digo hasta siete veces, sino hasta setenta veces siete(T).
Parábola de los dos deudores
23 Por eso, el reino de los cielos(U) puede compararse[r] a cierto[s] rey que quiso ajustar cuentas con sus siervos(V). 24 Y al comenzar a ajustarlas, le fue presentado uno que le debía diez mil talentos[t]. 25 Pero no teniendo él con qué pagar(W), su señor ordenó que lo vendieran(X), junto con su mujer e hijos y todo cuanto poseía, y así pagara la deuda. 26 Entonces el siervo cayó postrado ante él(Y), diciendo: «Ten paciencia conmigo y todo te lo pagaré». 27 Y el señor de aquel siervo tuvo compasión, y lo soltó y le perdonó la deuda(Z). 28 Pero al salir aquel siervo, encontró a uno de sus consiervos que le debía cien denarios[u], y echándole mano, lo ahogaba, diciendo: «Paga lo que debes». 29 Entonces su consiervo, cayendo a sus pies, le suplicaba, diciendo: «Ten paciencia conmigo y te pagaré». 30 Sin embargo, él no quiso, sino que fue y lo echó en la cárcel hasta que pagara lo que debía. 31 Así que cuando vieron sus consiervos lo que había pasado, se entristecieron mucho, y fueron y contaron a su señor todo lo que había sucedido. 32 Entonces, llamándolo su señor, le dijo*: «Siervo malvado, te perdoné toda aquella deuda porque me suplicaste. 33 ¿No deberías tú también haberte compadecido de tu consiervo, así como yo me compadecí de ti(AA)?». 34 Y enfurecido su señor, lo entregó a los verdugos hasta que pagara todo lo que le debía. 35 Así también mi Padre celestial hará con vosotros(AB), si no perdonáis de corazón[v] cada uno a su hermano.

New International Version
The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven(A)
18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,(B) you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(C) 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.(D) 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.(E)
Causing to Stumble
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.(F) 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(G) 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,(H) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(I) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.(J)
The Parable of the Wandering Sheep(K)
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels(L) in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [11] [a]
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Dealing With Sin in the Church
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault,(M) just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d](N) 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;(O) and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.(P)
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[f] loosed in heaven.(Q)
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them(R) by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”(S)
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?(T) Up to seven times?”(U)
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g](V)
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like(W) a king who wanted to settle accounts(X) with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay,(Y) the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold(Z) to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him.(AA) ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”(AB)

Who Is Greatest in Heaven?
18 (A)At that [a]time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “(B)Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And He called a child to Himself and set him [b]before them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you [c]are converted and (C)become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever therefore will humble himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; 6 but (D)whoever (E)causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a [d]heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Stumbling Blocks
7 “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For (F)it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; nevertheless, woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!
8 “(G)And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire. 9 (H)And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into the [e](I)fiery hell.
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that (J)their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 [f][(K)For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
12 “What do you think? (L)If any man has one hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13 And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14 In this way, it is not the will [g]of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
If Your Brother Sins
15 “(M)Now if your brother sins[h], go and [i]show him his fault, between you and him alone; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that (N)by the mouth of two or three witnesses every [j]fact may be confirmed. 17 And if he refuses to listen to them, (O)tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, (P)let him be to you as the Gentile and the tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, (Q)whatever you [k]bind on earth [l]shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you [m]loose on earth [n]shall have been loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, (R)it shall be done for them [o]by My Father who is in heaven. 20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, (S)I am there in their midst.”
Forgiveness
21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, (T)how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to (U)seven times?” 22 Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to (V)seventy times seven.
23 “For this reason (W)the kingdom of heaven [p]may be compared to a king who wished to (X)settle accounts with his slaves. 24 When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand [q]talents was brought to him. 25 But since he [r](Y)did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him (Z)to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. 26 Therefore, the slave fell to the ground and (AA)was prostrating himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’ 27 And feeling compassion, the lord of that slave released him and (AB)forgave him the [s]debt. 28 But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred [t]denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ 29 So, his fellow slave fell to the ground and was pleading with him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’ 30 But he was unwilling [u]and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed. 31 So, when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened. 32 Then summoning him, his lord *said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 (AC)Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ 34 And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. 35 (AD)My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your hearts.”
