Matthew 18:16 in context
Matthew 18:13–19
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.
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
Selected verse
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.
