And they were exceeding 24 sorry. 2 Many authori an cient, insert ver. 21 But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting.

And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from 26 strangers? And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. 27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a 'shekel: that take, and give unto 6 Gr. stater. them for me and thee. 18 In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 7 Gr. greater. 2 And he called to him a little child, and set him in 3 the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the 'greatest in the kingdom 5 of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little 6 child in my name receiveth me: but whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great mill-turned by an ass. stone should be hanged about his neck, and that he 7 should be sunk in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to 8 that man through whom the occasion cometh!

And if he refuse to hear them, tell it 17 6 Or, congregation unto the 'church: and if he refuse to hear the "church and seven also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican. Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye 18 shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, that if two 19 of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three 20 are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Then came Peter, and said to him, Lord, how oft 21 shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not 22 7 Or, seventy times unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until 'seventy times seven.

But that 'servant went out, and found one 2 Gr. loan. of his fellow-servants, which owed him a hundred 3 The word in the spence: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the 29 throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. So his fellowservant fell down and besought him, saying, Have 30 patience with me, and I will pay thee. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till 31 he should pay that which was due. So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all 32 that was done. Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked 'servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fel34 low-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. 19 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the 2 borders of Judæa beyond Jordan; and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. And there came unto him Pharisees, tempting ties, some him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away 4 his wife for every cause? And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he which made them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the 6 twain shall become one flesh? So that they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God 7 hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give 8 a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the begin- 6 Some ancient au9 ning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, 'except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: "and he that marrieth her when she is put away. 10 committeth adultery. The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not 11 expedient to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to whom it 12 is given.
