## Matthew 18:13 in Context (Verses 10–16 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/matthew/18/10) Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/matthew/18/11) For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/matthew/18/12) How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/18/13) And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that *sheep*, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/18/14) Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/18/15) ¶ Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/18/16) But if he will not hear *thee, then* take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
 
[Matthew 17](/kjv/matthew/17) [Matthew 19](/kjv/matthew/19)
