Matthew 18:10-14
18:10 a Don’t look down on them, either by refusing to receive them (18:5-6 b) or by refusing to give pastoral care when needed (18:12-14 c; see 19:13-15 d).• their angels: See 4:5-7 e; Heb 1:14 f.
18:12 g Just as a shepherd will work to recover a lost sheep, the “little ones” (18:6 h) must not be despised or neglected.
18:14 i The shepherd’s joy is also the joy of the Father; the purpose of pastoral care is so God will not lose any of his sheep.
