Context of Matthew 18:19

17But if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to Messiah’s community. And if he refuses to listen even to Messiah’s community, let him be to you as a pagan and a tax collector. 18“Amen, I tell you, whatever you forbid on earth will have been forbidden in heaven and what you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” 21Then Peter came to Him and said, “Master, how often shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?”

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Again I say unto you - The word , verily, is added here, in ninety-eight MSS., (many of which are of the greatest antiquity and importance), seven editions, all the Arabic, the Slavonic, and several of the Itala. The taking in or leaving out such a word may appear to some a matter of indifference; but, as I am fully convinced Jesus Christ never spoke a useless or a needless word, my maxim is, to omit not one syllable that I am convinced (from such…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19Again I say unto you, That if two of you … - This is connected with the previous verses.
