For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:20 Go To Matthew 18
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Otherwise; When you begin to hold your brother as a publican you bind him on earth, but take heed that you bind him with just cause; for an unjust cause breaks rightful bonds. But when you have corrected him, and agreed with him, you have loosed him upon earth, and when you have loosed him upon earth, he shall be loosed also in heaven. You confer a great boon not on yourself, but on him, as he had done the hurt not to you but to himself.
