40:017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend 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 for me and thee. 40:018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 40:018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 40:018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 40:018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 40:018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 40:018:006 But 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. 40:018:007 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! 40:018:008 Wherefore 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. 40:018:009 And 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. 40:018:010 Take 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. 40:018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 40:018:012 How 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? 40:018:013 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. 40:018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 40:018:015 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. 40:018:016 But 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.
