Matthew 18

Gen Z: Matthew 18

1The squad rolled up to Jesus, like, "Who’s the GOAT in heaven's crew?"

2So Jesus pulled a little kid over and was like, "Come chill with us."

3He straight up said, "No cap, unless you switch it up and vibe like these kids, you can't roll into heaven."

4Whoever keeps it humble like this kid? That's the real MVP in heaven.

5And if you show love to a kid like this in my name, you’re showing love to me, fr.

6But if you mess with one of these little ones who believe in me? Better hope a millstone doesn't end up on your neck, 'cause drowning in the ocean is a whole mood.

7Yo, the world’s a mess 'cause of all the drama! Offenses are gonna happen, but woe to the one who starts it!

8So if your hand or foot is trippin’, just cut it off, fam. Better to roll into life missing a limb than to be tossed into the fire, no cap.

9And if your eye is making you sus, just pluck it out! Better to vibe with one eye than to be thrown into hellfire with two.

10For real, don’t sleep on these little ones; their angels are always flexing in front of my Father in heaven.

11The Son of Man came to save the lost vibes, no cap.

12Yo, if a dude's got a hundred sheep and one bounces, he’s not just chillin’ with the 99, right? He’s gonna go find that lost one, fr.

13And if he finds it, for real, he’s more hyped about that one sheep than the 99 that stayed, periodt.

14For sure, it’s not the Father’s vibe in heaven for even one of these little ones to be lost.

15If your bro messes up, go straight to him and let him know what's good; if he listens, you just leveled up your friendship, bet.

16But if he’s not down to listen, grab a couple more peeps so everything’s legit when you talk, no cap.

17If he still doesn’t wanna hear it, spill the tea to the church; if he ignores the church too, treat him like a total outsider, savage.

18For real, whatever you lock down on earth is locked in heaven, and whatever you let go of here is let go up there, lit.

19Again, I’m saying, if two of you agree on anything down here, my Father in heaven's got your back, fr.

20Where two or three are vibing in my name, I’m right there with them, no cap.

21Peter rolled up to Jesus and asked, "Yo, how many times should I forgive my bro for messing up? Like, seven times?"

22Jesus hit him with, "Nah fam, not just seven times, but like seventy times seven. No cap."

23So, the kingdom of heaven is kinda like a king who wanted to check on his squad.

24When he started counting, they brought him a dude who owed ten thousand talents. That's a lot, fam.

25But since dude was broke, the king was like, "Sell him, his fam, and all his stuff to get the cash."

26The servant hit the floor, begging, "Please, just give me time and I’ll pay you back, fr."

27The king felt bad and let him go, totally forgiving the debt. Goated move.

28But then that same dude bounced out and found a homie who owed him a hundred pence. He grabbed him and was like, "Run me my money!"

29His homie fell down and begged, "Chill, just give me time and I’ll pay you back, promise!"

30But he wasn’t having it; he tossed him in jail until he could cough up the cash.

31So when his homies saw what went down, they were super bummed and went to tell their boss everything that happened.

32Then his boss called him over and was like, "Bro, you savage! I wiped your whole debt 'cause you asked me to."

33Shouldn't you have had some rizz for your fellow servant, just like I had for you?

34His boss was mad and sent him to the tormentors until he paid every last cent.

35So for real, my heavenly Father will do the same to you if you don’t forgive your bros from the heart.

KJV: Matthew 18

1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6But 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.

7Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

8Wherefore 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.

9And 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.

10Take 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.

11For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

12How 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?

13And 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.

14Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

15Moreover 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.

16But 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.

17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

25But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

26The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

27Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

31So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

34And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
