Matthew 18:14 Context
12How thinke yee? if a man haue an hundred sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue the ninetie and nine, and goeth into the mountaines, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13And if so be that he find it, Uerily I say vnto you, hee reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray. 14Euen so, it is not the will of your father which is in heauen, that one of these little ones should perish. 15¶ Moreouer, if thy brother shall trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he shall heare thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not heare thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, euery word may be established.
