Matthew 18:13-25 World English Bible (WEB)

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. 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.

20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”

21. Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”

22. Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

23. Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.

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

25. But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
