Forgiving sin

Luke 17:1–4

Mark 9:42–42

Mat 18:6–22

17:1 Forgiving sin

(Mark 9:42, Mat. 18:6-7)

17Then Yeshua told his followers, “It’s impossible that temptations will disappear, but a bad future awaits whoever brings them. 2If would be better if that person had a heavy weight tied to them and got thrown into the sea than if they cause a younger one to stumble. 3[ref]Take great care.

If a fellow-believer disobeys God, scold them, and then if they stop and request forgiveness, forgive them. 4Even if they wrong you seven times in a day and then seven times come and tell you that they’re turning away from it, forgive them.


9:42 Difficult teachings about disobedience

(Mat. 18:6-9, Luke 17:1-2)

42But anyone who causes a young person to falter from their trust in me, it would be better if they were thrown into the sea with a heavy weight tied around their neck.

6But anyone who causes one of these small ones who believe in me to stumble, it would have been better for that person if a heavy stone had been hung around their neck and if they’d been sunk in the deep lake. 7The world suffers due to temptations, because it’s necessary for temptations to come, but it won’t be good for the person who brings the temptation.

8[ref]If your hand or foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away because it’s better for you to enter eternal life maimed or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire with two hands and feet. 9[ref]Also if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away because it’s better for you to enter eternal life with only one eye than to be thrown into the pit of fire with two eyes.

18:9 Finding the lost sheep

(Luke 15:3-7)

10Make sure that you all don’t despise any of these small ones, because I’m telling you all that their messengers in the heavens are always in front of my father who is in the heavens.

11[fn] 12What do you think about this: a man had a hundred sheep and one of them strayed away. Won’t he leave the ninety-nine there in the hills and go and look for the sheep that was missing? 13And if he happens to find it, I can assure you that he’ll be happier about that one than about the ninety-nine who never strayed away. 14In the same way, your father in the heavens doesn’t want even one of these small ones to perish.

18:14 Confronting an offender

15[ref]If a fellow believer sins, go where there’s just the two of you and rebuke that person privately. If they listen to you, you have gained back a fellow believer. 16[ref]But if they don’t listen to you, take one or two others with you, so that there’ll be two or three witnesses to verify the message. 17Then if that person still refuses to listen, tell the whole assembly. If they still refuse to hear from the assembly, treat them like a non-believer or a tax-collector.[fn]

18:17 Restricting and releasing

18[ref]I can assure you that whatever you restrain on the earth will be restrained in heaven, and what ever you set free on the earth will be set free in heaven.

19Again, I can assure you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they request in prayer, then my father who is in the heavens will action it, 20because any place where two or three people have gathered together in my name and authority, I will be there right among them.

18:20 The importance of forgiveness

21[ref]Then Peter approached Yeshua and asked, “Master, how often can someone sin against me and I’ll still have to forgive them?”

22[ref]I won’t say seven times,Yeshua answered, “but seventy times seven times!


18:11 Some Greek manuscripts add in the text of Luke 19:10 here: XXX

18:17 Some might read this as a command to shun the person, but perhaps it would be better read as ‘treat them as a lost person who needs to be saved’?
