马太福音 18
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
天国里谁为大
18 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。 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。
绊倒人的有祸
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。 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。[a]
迷路的羊
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。
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。”
饶恕七十个七次
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账。 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。
不怜悯人的必不蒙怜悯
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。”

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
18 At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,
3 And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
6 But 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.
7 Woe 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.
8 And 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.
9 And 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.
10 See 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.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12 What 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?
13 And 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.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
15 But 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.
16 And 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.
17 And 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.
18 Amen 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.
19 Again 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.
20 For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21 Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
25 And 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.
26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
28 But 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.
29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Matthew 18
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)

New Vietnamese Bible
Người Lớn Nhất Trong Nước Đức Chúa Trời(A)
18 Lúc ấy các môn đệ đến hỏi Đức Giê-su: “Ai là người lớn nhất trong Nước Thiên Đàng?”
2 Gọi một đứa bé đến, Ngài để nó đứng giữa các môn đệ, 3 và đáp: “Thật, Ta bảo các con, nếu các con không thay đổi và trở nên giống như con trẻ, các con không thể vào Nước Thiên Đàng được. 4 Vì thế, ai khiêm nhường như đứa bé này, ấy là người lớn nhất trong Nước Thiên Đàng.
5 Và nếu ai nhân danh Ta tiếp một đứa bé như thế này tức là tiếp nhận Ta.”
Tội Gây Vấp Phạm(B)
6 “Nhưng hễ ai gây cho một trong những người bé mọn đã tin Ta phạm tội, thì thà buộc cối đá vào cổ kẻ ấy và quăng xuống đáy biển còn hơn.
7 Khốn cho thế gian vì sự gây vấp phạm! Tất nhiên sự gây vấp phạm phải có, nhưng khốn cho ai là kẻ gây vấp phạm! 8 Nếu tay hay chân con gây cho con phạm tội,[a] hãy chặt và ném đi, thà con bị cụt tay hay què chân mà vào sự sống còn hơn là có đủ hai tay, hai chân mà bị ném vào lửa đời đời. 9 Nếu mắt con gây cho con phạm tội, hãy móc mắt và ném đi, thà mù một mắt mà vào sự sống còn hơn là có đủ hai mắt mà bị quăng vào lửa hỏa ngục.”
Ngụ Ngôn Về Con Chiên Lạc(C)
10 “Hãy cẩn thận đừng khinh dể một người nào trong những người bé mọn này; vì Ta bảo các con, các thiên sứ của chúng ở trên trời hằng thấy mặt Cha Ta ở trên trời. 11 Vì Con Người đã đến để cứu kẻ hư mất.[b]
12 Các con nghĩ thế nào? Có người kia có một trăm con chiên, một con đi lạc mất; người đó không để chín mươi chín con kia lại trên đồi và đi kiếm con bị lạc sao? 13 Khi kiếm được rồi, thật, Ta bảo các con, người đó vui mừng vì nó hơn là chín mươi chín con không bị lạc. 14 Cũng thế, Cha các con ở trên trời không muốn một người nào trong những người bé mọn này bị hư mất.”
Cách Đối Xử Với Người Anh Em Phạm Tội
15 “Nếu có một anh em có lỗi với con, hãy đến gặp riêng người mà khuyên bảo. Nếu người nghe lời thì con được lại anh em. 16 Nếu người không nghe, hãy đem một hai người theo với con đến gặp người, để nhờ lời của hai hay ba người làm chứng mà vấn đề được xác nhận.[c] 17 Nếu người vẫn không nghe họ, hãy trình với hội thánh; nếu người cũng không chịu vâng lời hội thánh, thì hãy coi người như người ngoại đạo hay kẻ thu thuế.
18 Thật, Ta bảo các con, bất cứ điều gì các con buộc ở dưới đất cũng sẽ được buộc ở trên trời, điều gì các con mở ở dưới đất, thì sẽ được mở ở trên trời.
19 Ta lại nói cùng các con, nếu hai người trong các con ở dưới đất thuận ý nhau mà cầu xin bất cứ điều gì, thì Cha Ta ở trên trời sẽ ban cho họ. 20 Vì ở đâu có hai hay ba người nhân danh Ta họp nhau lại, Ta sẽ ở giữa họ.”
Người Đầy Tớ Không Tha Thứ
21 Lúc ấy, Phê-rơ đến hỏi Đức Giê-su: “Thưa Thầy, nếu anh em con phạm tội cùng con, con sẽ tha cho họ mấy lần? Đến bảy lần chăng?”
22 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Ta bảo cho con rõ, không phải đến bảy lần, mà là bảy mươi lần bảy.
23 Vì thế, Nước Thiên Đàng ví như vua kia muốn tính sổ với các đầy tớ mình. 24 Khi bắt đầu soát sổ, người ta đem đến cho vua một người mắc nợ mười ngàn ta-lâng bạc.[d] 25 Vì người không có gì trả nợ, vua ra lệnh bán hắn cùng vợ con và tất cả tài sản để trả nợ.
26 Người đầy tớ quỳ xuống van lạy: ‘Xin ngài hoãn lại cho tôi, tôi sẽ trả hết.’ 27 Vua động lòng thương xót, thả người đầy tớ ấy ra và tha hết nợ.
28 Người đầy tớ ấy đi ra thấy một người đầy tớ khác mắc nợ mình một trăm đồng đê-na-ri,[e] liền bắt lấy, nắm cổ đòi: ‘Hãy trả nợ đây!’
29 Người đầy tớ kia quỳ xuống năn nỉ: ‘Xin anh hoãn lại cho tôi, tôi sẽ trả hết.’
30 Nhưng người đầy tớ ấy không chịu, bắt anh đầy tớ kia bỏ tù cho đến khi trả hết nợ. 31 Thấy thế, những đầy tớ khác rất buồn, họ đi báo cáo lại với vua mọi sự.
32 Vua gọi người đầy tớ ấy vào và phán: ‘Này đứa đầy tớ độc ác, vì ngươi van xin, nên Ta đã tha hết nợ cho ngươi, 33 tại sao ngươi không thương xót đồng bạn như ta đã thương xót ngươi?’ 34 Vua nổi giận, giao cho cai ngục tống giam người đầy tớ ấy cho đến khi trả hết nợ.
35 Cũng vậy, Cha Ta ở trên trời sẽ đối xử với các con như thế, nếu các con không có lòng tha thứ cho anh em mình.”
