In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Mrk 9:33-37Luk 9:46-48Mat 20:20-28Luk 22:24-27Php 2:3Mat 23:11Mrk 10:35-45Mrk 10:14-15

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them Mat 19:13-141Ki 3:7Mrk 9:36-37Jer 1:7 and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Mrk 10:14-151Pe 2:2Mat 19:141Co 14:20Luk 18:16-17Psa 131:2Jhn 3:5Jhn 3:3 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jas 4:10Mrk 10:43Luk 14:11Luk 9:48Mat 20:26-27Mat 23:11-121Pe 5:5Isa 57:15 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, Mat 25:40Jhn 13:20Mrk 9:37Gal 4:14Luk 17:1-2Luk 9:48Mat 10:40-42Mat 25:45 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea. Mrk 9:42Luk 17:1-2Mat 18:102Th 1:6-9Mat 18:14Rom 15:1-3Psa 105:151Co 8:9-13

“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes! Luk 17:11Co 11:19Mat 26:241Ti 4:1-3Jud 1:42Ti 3:1-5Jud 1:11-13Rev 2:14-15 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. Mat 5:29-30Php 3:8-9Luk 18:22-23Rom 13:12Ezk 18:31Luk 14:26-27Mat 25:46Rev 14:10 If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna 1 of fire.

Psa 91:11Heb 1:14Psa 34:7Luk 16:222Ki 6:16-17Act 12:7-11Mat 1:20Mat 18:14 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. 2

“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother. Lev 19:17Gal 6:1Luk 17:3-42Th 3:15Col 3:13Jas 5:19-20Pro 25:9-10Rom 12:21 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 3 Deu 19:152Co 13:1Jhn 8:171Ti 5:19Heb 10:28Deu 17:6Num 35:301Ki 21:13 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector. 2Th 3:61Co 5:92Th 3:14-151Co 5:3-52Jn 1:10-11Eph 5:11-123Jn 1:9-10Eph 4:17-19 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven. Mat 16:192Co 2:10Jhn 20:231Co 5:4-5Rev 3:7-8Act 15:23-31 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?” Luk 17:3-4Mat 18:15

Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. Col 3:13Mrk 11:25Eph 4:31Mat 6:14-15Gen 4:24Eph 4:26Rom 12:211Ti 2:8 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. Mat 13:24Rom 14:12Mat 3:2Mat 13:44-45Luk 16:1-2Luk 19:12-27Mat 13:471Co 4:5 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 4 Psa 130:3-4Psa 38:4Ezr 9:6Luk 13:4Luk 16:5Psa 40:121Ch 29:7Luk 16:7 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. Neh 5:52Ki 4:1Lev 25:39Luk 7:42Neh 5:8Exo 21:2Isa 50:1 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’ Luk 7:43Mat 18:29Mat 8:2Rom 10:3 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt. Psa 145:8Psa 86:15Hos 11:8Neh 9:17Jdg 10:16Psa 78:38Psa 86:5

“But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarii, 5 and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ Ezk 45:9Mat 20:2Deu 15:2Isa 58:3Neh 10:31Neh 5:10-11Neh 5:7

“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’ Mat 18:26Mat 6:12Phm 1:18-19 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due. 1Ki 21:27-291Ki 22:27 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done. Rom 12:15Heb 13:3Mrk 3:5Gen 37:2Heb 13:17Jer 9:1Luk 14:21Luk 19:41 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Luk 19:22Rom 3:19Mat 25:26 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’ Col 3:13Eph 4:32Mat 6:12Luk 6:35-36Mat 5:44-45 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him. Jas 2:13Mat 5:25-26Luk 12:58-592Th 1:8-9Mat 18:30Rev 14:10-11 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.” Mat 6:14-15Jas 2:13Luk 6:37-38Mrk 11:25Mat 6:12Pro 21:2Pro 21:13Mat 7:1-2
