Matthew 18:10-20

« Matt 17Matt 18Matt 19 »

10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that ^atheir angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 ¹[^aFor the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

12 “What do you think? ^aIf any man has one hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13 And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14 In this way, it is not the will ¹of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

If Your Brother Sins

15 “^aNow if your brother sins¹, go and ²show him his fault, between you and him alone; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that ^aby the mouth of two or three witnesses every ¹fact may be confirmed. 17 And if he refuses to listen to them, ^atell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^blet him be to you as the Gentile and the tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, ^awhatever you ¹bind on earth ²shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you ³loose on earth ²shall have been loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, ^ait shall be done for them ¹by My Father who is in heaven. 20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, ^aI am there in their midst.”
