commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall
be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the

astray 13. And 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. 14. Even so it is not the will of your
Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should
perish. 23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24. And
when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which
owed him ten thousand talents. 25. But forasmuch as lie 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. 26. The
