Matthew 18:14-24

14 "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

Discipline and Prayer

15 "¹If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; 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 ²BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

17 "If he refuses to listen to them, ³tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ⁴let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

18 "Truly I say to you, ⁵whatever * you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever * you loose on earth shall 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, ⁶it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, ⁷I am there in their midst."

Forgiveness

21 Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, ⁸how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to ⁹seven times?"

22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to ¹⁰seventy times seven.

23 "For this reason ¹¹the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to ¹²settle accounts with his slaves.

24 "When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
