Gospel, Mt 18:1-5 : Welcome children in my name
| Matthew 18 |
|
| 1 | At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" |
| 2 | And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, |
| 3 | and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. |
| 4 | Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. |
| 5 | "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; |
| 6 | but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. |
| 7 | "Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the man by whom the temptation comes! |
| 8 | And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. |
| 9 | And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire. |
| 10 | "See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven. |
| 12 | What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? |
| 13 | And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. |
| 14 | So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. |
| 15 | "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. |
