THE HOLY GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW

Latin	English
[1] in illa hora accesserunt discipuli ad Iesum dicentes quis putas maior est in regno caelorum	At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
[2] et advocans Iesus parvulum statuit eum in medio eorum	And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them.
[3] et dixit amen dico vobis nisi conversi fueritis et efficiamini sicut parvuli non intrabitis in regnum caelorum	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] quicumque ergo humiliaverit se sicut parvulus iste hic est maior in regno caelorum	Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
[5] et qui susceperit unum parvulum talem in nomine meo me suscipit	And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
[6] qui autem scandalizaverit unum de pusillis istis qui in me credunt expedit ei ut suspendatur mola asinaria in collo eius et demergatur in profundum maris	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] vae mundo ab scandalis necesse est enim ut veniant scandala verumtamen vae homini per quem scandalum venit	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] si autem manus tua vel pes tuus scandalizat te abscide eum et proice abs te bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi debilem vel clodum quam duas manus vel duos pedes habentem mitti in ignem aeternum	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] et si oculus tuus scandalizat te erue eum et proice abs te bonum tibi est unoculum in vitam intrare quam duos oculos habentem mitti in gehennam ignis	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] videte ne contemnatis unum ex his pusillis dico enim vobis quia angeli eorum in caelis semper vident faciem Patris mei qui in caelis est	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] venit enim Filius hominis salvare quod perierat	For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
[12] quid vobis videtur si fuerint alicui centum oves et erraverit una ex eis nonne relinquet nonaginta novem in montibus et vadit quaerere eam quae erravit	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 goeth to seek that which is gone astray?
[13] et si contigerit ut inveniat eam amen dico vobis quia gaudebit super eam magis quam super nonaginta novem quae non erraverunt	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] sic non est voluntas ante Patrem vestrum qui in caelis est ut pereat unus de pusillis istis	Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
[15] si autem peccaverit in te frater tuus vade et corripe eum inter te et ipsum solum si te audierit lucratus es fratrem tuum	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] si autem non te audierit adhibe tecum adhuc unum vel duos ut in ore duorum testium vel trium stet omne verbum	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] quod si non audierit eos dic ecclesiae si autem et ecclesiam non audierit sit tibi sicut ethnicus et publicanus	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 dico vobis quaecumque alligaveritis super terram erunt ligata et in caelo et quaecumque solveritis super terram erunt soluta et in caelo	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] iterum dico vobis quia si duo ex vobis consenserint super terram de omni re quacumque petierint fiet illis a Patre meo qui in caelis est	Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven.
[20] ubi enim sunt duo vel tres congregati in nomine meo ibi sum in medio eorum	For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
[21] tunc accedens Petrus ad eum dixit Domine quotiens peccabit in me frater meus et dimittam ei usque septies	Then came Peter unto him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
[22] dicit illi Iesus non dico tibi usque septies sed usque septuagies septies	Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
[23] ideo adsimilatum est regnum caelorum homini regi qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis	Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
[24] et cum coepisset rationem ponere oblatus est ei unus qui debebat decem milia talenta	And when he had begun to take the account, one as brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
[25] cum autem non haberet unde redderet iussit eum dominus venundari et uxorem eius et filios et omnia quae habebat et reddi	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] procidens autem servus ille orabat eum dicens patientiam habe in me et omnia reddam tibi	But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[27] misertus autem dominus servi illius dimisit eum et debitum dimisit ei	And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
[28] egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis qui debebat ei centum denarios et tenens suffocabat eum dicens redde quod debes	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, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
[29] et procidens conservus eius rogabat eum dicens patientiam habe in me et omnia reddam tibi	And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
[30] ille autem noluit sed abiit et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum	And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
[31] videntes autem conservi eius quae fiebant contristati sunt valde et venerunt et narraverunt domino suo omnia quae facta erant	Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done.
[32] tunc vocavit illum dominus suus et ait illi serve nequam omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me	Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
[33] non ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui sicut et ego tui misertus sum	Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
[34] et iratus dominus eius tradidit eum tortoribus quoadusque redderet universum debitum	And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
[35] sic et Pater meus caelestis faciet vobis si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris	So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
