Matthew 18:1,2 At the same time came the disciples unto Emmanuel, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Emmanuel called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them,

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted and become as little children.(to become as little children, willing to learn and being open and honest; it's important to have the right information for a better life; if you have the wrong information it will show up in your life so you can correct it; results show you which is which {Matthew 7:16-20}, that's how a good parent can produce good children, teaching them to be alert for feedback of circumstances), you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 20:25-28 "...they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you. But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many."
Matthew 23:11 "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant."

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.

Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend.(original for word 'offend' is 'to put a stumbling block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall').one of these little ones which believe in me.(those on what's called the 'humanity' side as compared to some of those of the mankind side; always be good to children and exist yourself for their best), it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.(*).

Matthew 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! For it must needs be that offences come.(just don't you be the one that the dark side gets to and causes those offences), but woe to that man by whom the offence comes..(?)

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off.(not the hand or foot, but the offenses caused by one's actions often involving going somewhere and doing things with the hands {signing or writing a paper which gains advantage for the few at the expense of the many}).and cast them from you. It is better for you to enter into life halt.(original also means 'deprived').or maimed, rather than having your two hands or two feet and to be cast into everlasting fire..(?)

Matthew 18:9 And if your eye offend you, pluck it out.(?).and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

What eye was He talking about here?.Jeremiah 27:5.

Matthew 18:10 Take heed that you 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.(that is, they are completely of the same high consciousness as the Father).

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save.(Acts 13:23; Luke 19:10).that which was lost.

He 'came to save' and since all mostly of the planned 'humanity' gene type were saved before any physical of us were on the Earth.(2Timothy 1:9), this then means saving is a process that begins once awaked to the fact of us being saved. And thus, a reason Christ came was to teach:.John 6:59. Our growing in spiritual knowledge and subsequent character toward a reward, is an natural outcrop of our having been saved. 

The original for 'lost' is 'perishing', 'headed toward destruction', the result of a life followed from the ordinary consciousness level; doesn't say He came to teach them religious things so they could be saved, as they were all saved before humanity was on the Earth (2Timothy 1:9); 'come to save' means to awaken them from the sleep of their ordinary consciousness and to the reality of their being, so they can be blessed and out of the heartache caused from the pressure cooker of daily living caused by the low consciousness of man. The lesson of the New Testament is to awaken to God in you, possible now because of what Christ came and did and then life for you becomes new:.Revelation 21:5 "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new..."

Matthew 18:12,13 How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine and go into the mountains and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

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.

Matthew 18:15-17 Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he shall hear you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear you, then take with you one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church. But if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as an heathen man and a publican.

Matthew 18:18.Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever you shall bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever you shall loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven..(?)

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if at least two of you shall agree on Earth as touching any thing, once you ask for it, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Doesn't say when.(?), just that it will happen.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together.(word 'together' not in original, but either the word 'gathered' or 'together' on its own gets the meaning across).in my name.(what does 'in my name' mean?), there am I in the midst of them.

Meaning, two or three individuals of or wanting to be of the consciousness of Creator-God. Then with them, but in the invisible, is the presence of God, which would be another (or 3 considering the oneness of God), the 2nd, 3rd or the 4th. Doesn't mean it can't be more than three:.1Corinthians 12:6; Ephesians 1:23..Barnes Notes:."This verse is a general.assertion.meant to support verse 19."

So, be a good friend to at least one other who thinks spiritually as you do, so together your prayers have power to produce regarding what may be agreed upon to pray about:.Matthew 18:20. Why at least two? A vehicle battery with only one terminal does nothing for its purpose. Though it has two terminals, why does this produce what's called, electricity?

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? till seven times?

Matthew 18:22.Emmanuel said unto him, I say not unto you, Until seven times but until seventy times seven.

Always to be kind, compassionate, helpful.

Matthew 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

Matthew 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 

Matthew 18:25,26 But forasmuch as he had nothing to pay it with, his lord commanded him to be sold and his wife and children and all that he had and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay you all.

Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt.

Matthew 18:28-34 But the same servant went out and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which you owe. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet and besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay thee all. And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me to. Should not you also have had compassion on you fellowservant, even as I had pity on you? And his lord was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you.(how? by the invisible multiversal laws set up, because God judges no one; Matthew 5:7), if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
