Le plus grand dans le Royaume des cieux
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst,3 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.4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,Sérieuse mise en garde
6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.7 "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!8 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.9 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 of fire.La parabole du mouton égaré et retrouvé
10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.11 For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.12 "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?13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.Quand un frère se rend coupable
15 "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.16 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.17 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.18 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.19 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.20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst."La parabole du serviteur qui refuse de pardonner
21 Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"22 Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.25 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.26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds." -
Le plus grand dans le Royaume des cieux
1 En ce moment, les disciples s'approchèrent de Jésus, et dirent : Qui donc est le plus grand dans le royaume des cieux ?2 Jésus, ayant appelé un petit enfant, le plaça au milieu d'eux,3 et dit : Je vous le dis en vérité, si vous ne vous convertissez et si vous ne devenez comme les petits enfants, vous n'entrerez pas dans le royaume des cieux.4 C'est pourquoi, quiconque se rendra humble comme ce petit enfant sera le plus grand dans le royaume des cieux.5 Et quiconque reçoit en mon nom un petit enfant comme celui-ci, me reçoit moi-même.Sérieuse mise en garde
6 Mais, si quelqu'un scandalisait un de ces petits qui croient en moi, il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu'on suspendît à son cou une meule de moulin, et qu'on le jetât au fond de la mer.7 Malheur au monde à cause des scandales ! Car il est nécessaire qu'il arrive des scandales ; mais malheur à l'homme par qui le scandale arrive !8 Si ta main ou ton pied est pour toi une occasion de chute, coupe-les et jette-les loin de toi ; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie boiteux ou manchot, que d'avoir deux pieds ou deux mains et d'être jeté dans le feu éternel.9 Et si ton oeil est pour toi une occasion de chute, arrache-le et jette-le loin de toi ; mieux vaut pour toi entrer dans la vie, n'ayant qu'un oeil, que d'avoir deux yeux et d'être jeté dans le feu de la géhenne.La parabole du mouton égaré et retrouvé
10 Gardez-vous de mépriser un seul de ces petits ; car je vous dis que leurs anges dans les cieux voient continuellement la face de mon Père qui est dans les cieux.11 Car le Fils de l'homme est venu sauver ce qui était perdu.12 Que vous en semble ? Si un homme a cent brebis, et que l'une d'elles s'égare, ne laisse-t-il pas les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf autres sur les montagnes, pour aller chercher celle qui s'est égarée ?13 Et, s'il la trouve, je vous le dis en vérité, elle lui cause plus de joie que les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf qui ne se sont pas égarées.14 De même, ce n'est pas la volonté de votre Père qui est dans les cieux qu'il se perde un seul de ces petits.Quand un frère se rend coupable
15 Si ton frère a péché, va et reprends-le entre toi et lui seul. S'il t'écoute, tu as gagné ton frère.16 Mais, s'il ne t'écoute pas, prends avec toi une ou deux personnes, afin que toute l'affaire se règle sur la déclaration de deux ou de trois témoins.17 S'il refuse de les écouter, dis-le à l'Église ; et s'il refuse aussi d'écouter l'Église, qu'il soit pour toi comme un païen et un publicain.18 Je vous le dis en vérité, tout ce que vous lierez sur la terre sera lié dans le ciel, et tout ce que vous délierez sur la terre sera délié dans le ciel.19 Je vous dis encore que, si deux d'entre vous s'accordent sur la terre pour demander une chose quelconque, elle leur sera accordée par mon Père qui est dans les cieux.20 Car là où deux ou trois sont assemblés en mon nom, je suis au milieu d'eux.La parabole du serviteur qui refuse de pardonner
21 Alors Pierre s'approcha de lui, et dit : Seigneur, combien de fois pardonnerai-je à mon frère, lorsqu'il péchera contre moi ? Sera-ce jusqu'à sept fois ?22 Jésus lui dit : Je ne te dis pas jusqu'à sept fois, mais jusqu'à septante fois sept fois.23 C'est pourquoi, le royaume des cieux est semblable à un roi qui voulut faire rendre compte à ses serviteurs.24 Quand il se mit à compter, on lui en amena un qui devait dix mille talents.25 Comme il n'avait pas de quoi payer, son maître ordonna qu'il fût vendu, lui, sa femme, ses enfants, et tout ce qu'il avait, et que la dette fût acquittée.26 Le serviteur, se jetant à terre, se prosterna devant lui, et dit : Seigneur, aie patience envers moi, et je te paierai tout.27 Ému de compassion, le maître de ce serviteur le laissa aller, et lui remit la dette.28 Après qu'il fut sorti, ce serviteur rencontra un de ses compagnons qui lui devait cent deniers. Il le saisit et l'étranglait, en disant : Paie ce que tu me dois.29 Son compagnon, se jetant à terre, le suppliait, disant : Aie patience envers moi, et je te paierai.30 Mais l'autre ne voulut pas, et il alla le jeter en prison, jusqu'à ce qu'il eût payé ce qu'il devait.31 Ses compagnons, ayant vu ce qui était arrivé, furent profondément attristés, et ils allèrent raconter à leur maître tout ce qui s'était passé.32 Alors le maître fit appeler ce serviteur, et lui dit : Méchant serviteur, je t'avais remis en entier ta dette, parce que tu m'en avais supplié ;33 ne devais-tu pas aussi avoir pitié de ton compagnon, comme j'ai eu pitié de toi ?34 Et son maître, irrité, le livra aux bourreaux, jusqu'à ce qu'il eût payé tout ce qu'il devait.35 C'est ainsi que mon Père céleste vous traitera, si chacun de vous ne pardonne à son frère de tout son coeur. -

Mais ni l'une ni l'autre de ces causes n'atténue la responsabilité de l'homme par qui le scandale arrive.
Puisqu'il nous est dit dans l’Écriture, qu'il y aura des séducteurs, des tentateurs, des persécuteurs, et de mauvais exemples, soyons sur nos gardes ! Nous devons, dans la limite de la légalité, renoncer à tout ce que pourrait nous entraîner dans la voie du péché. Les occasions qui mènent à l’iniquité doivent être évitées. Si nous vivons selon « la chair », nous mourrons. Si, par le biais de l'Esprit, nous mortifions les actions du corps, nous vivrons !
Christ est venu dans le monde pour sauver les âmes ; Il agira sévèrement à l’encontre de ceux qui entravent le progrès que pourraient faire ceux qui « tournent leur visage » vers les cieux. Détournerions-nous notre attention de ceux que le Fils de Dieu est venu chercher et sauver ? Un père prend soin de tous ses enfants, de plus, il éprouve une tendresse particulière pour les plus petits...
