Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

18:18 forbid . . . permit: The privilege and authority granted to Peter (16:19) are here granted to the church (or possibly to the twelve apostles, 18:1). The decisions of the community, when in accord with God’s will, are eternally binding.

ὑμῖν & δήσητε & λύσητε
˱to˲_you_all & ˱you_all˲_/may/_bind & ˱you_all˲_/may/_loose
The word you throughout this verse is plural because Jesus is speaking to his disciples.

See how you translated the almost identical sentence in 16:19. The only differences are that the words you and whatever throughout this verse are plural, and 16:19 has the phrase “in the heavens” instead of the phrase in heaven. Express the idea as you did in 16:19, but be sure to make any adjustments needed for the plural words and the phrase in heaven.
