17 And aafter six days Jesus taketh bPeter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was ctransfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then danswered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: eif thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, fa bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, gThis is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hhear ye him. 6 And when the disciples iheard it, they kfell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and ltouched them, and said, Arise, and mbe not afraid. 8 And when they had mmlifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

9 nAnd as they came down from the mountain, oJesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that pElias must first come? 11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and qrestore all things. 12 But I say unto you, That pElias is come already, and they knew him not, but rhave done unto him whatsoever they slisted. Likewise shall also tthe Son of man suffer of them. 13 Then the disciples understood pthat he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

14 uAnd when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, xkneeling down to him, and saying, 15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is ylunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and zperverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I asuffer you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus bapart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: cfor verily I say unto you, dIf ye have faith as a egrain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto fthis mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this gkind goeth not out but by hprayer and hifasting.

22 kAnd while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, lThe Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 23 And they shall kill him, and llthe third day he shall be raised again. mAnd they were exceeding sorry.

24 nAnd when they were come to Capernaum, they that received ||tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master opay ||tribute? 25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus pprevented him, saying, qWhat thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take rcustom or stribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27 Notwithstanding, lest we should toffend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find ||a piece of money: that take, and give unto them ufor me and thee.

18 At athe same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye bbe converted, and cbecome as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And dwhoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 eBut whoso shall foffend 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. 7 Woe unto the world because of goffences! hfor it must needs be that offences come; hibut woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8 kWherefore if lthy hand or thy foot foffend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or mmaimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if nthine eye foffend 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 ohell fire.

10 Take heed that ye despise not one of pthese little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven qtheir angels do always rbehold the face of smy Father which is in heaven. 11 tFor the Son of man is come to save uthat which was lost. 12 xHow think ye? yif 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? 13 And 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. 14 Even so it is not the will of your sFather which is in heaven, that one of pthese little ones should perish.

15 Moreover zif thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast agained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that bin the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto cthe church: but if he neglect to hear the church, dlet him be unto thee as an eheathen man and a fpublican. 18 Verily I say unto you, gWhatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching hany thing that they shall ask, iit shall be done for them of smy Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together jin my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, khow oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? ltill seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, mUntil seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would ntake account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to nreckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand ||talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be osold, and his wife, and pchildren, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and ||worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But 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. 29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and qbesought 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 should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and rtold unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou qdesiredst me: 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 sSo likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
