Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752

St Matthew 18:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. AT that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2. And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

3. 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. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

6. 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. 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.
