What does it say?
I'll [Jesus] tell you [disciples] again that if two of you who are on earth are in agreement with whatever they ask, it will be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. Wherever two or three are gathered in My name, I am there with them.
What is its immediate context?
Jesus is instructing the disciples (vs 1) about various things including the need to “become like children” (vs 4), overcoming inevitable temptations (vss 7-9), the value of a single believer who falls away (vss 10-14), and correcting a brother in sin (vss 15-20).
