Matthew 18:20

Fellowship and the church God's presence Prayer

¹⁸ Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.

For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”

²¹ Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²² Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
