18. I promise you that God in heaven will allow whatever you allow on earth, but he will not allow anything you don't allow.
19. I promise that when any two of you on earth agree about something you are praying for, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
20. Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you.
21. Peter came up to the Lord and asked, “How many times should I forgive someone who does something wrong to me? Is seven times enough?”
22. Jesus answered:Not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
23. This story will show you what the kingdom of heaven is like:One day a king decided to call in his officials and ask them to give an account of what they owed him.
24. As he was doing this, one official was brought in who owed him fifty million silver coins.
25. But he didn't have any money to pay what he owed. The king ordered him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all he owned, in order to pay the debt.
26. The official got down on his knees and began begging, “Have pity on me, and I will pay you every penny I owe!”
