Matthew 18:1

Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Please note that chapter 18 starts with the words, at the same time came. I just what us all to get accustomed to hearing transition phrases to help us recognize context. The way chapter 18 starts lets us know that the following events are occurring along with what was happening in chapter 17.
I would hope that you would read all of chapter 18, I found some very interesting things here. I will start with some other transitional words or phrases in chapter 18.

11. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
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?

Verse 11 is the end of one paragraph and verse 12 is the beginning of the next paragraph, but the phrase How think ye? indicates that we are still dealing with the same subject, or a clarification of what was said in
verses 1 - 11.

Next in verse 15 we have a new sentence and a new paragraph starting with the word, "Moreover" we are still connected, still expounding and expanding upon what has been said previous to this.

It looks very much like Chapter 18 verses 1-20 are all dealing with the question that Jesus asked about who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven because Jesus moves quite fluidly from the child to the offence of the one of these little ones and the offender of the little ones. In verse 10 still dealing with the little ones in verse 11 says that he as come to seek and to save that which was lost in to seeking one that is lost and in verse 14 reference to "one of these little ones" is stated again.
Then in verses 15 to 20 the title could very well be "Sheep's instructions for not being offended by an offender."

I am going to go over this all again and come back to it later this afternoon. When I read this chapter this morning, what I have written to you now is was I was seeing as I read it. I will be doing some other studying and come back to this. Sound Good? You may not agree, but at least you will understand why I am saying what I am saying and see how I have come to my conclusions. My desire is to understand what the bible is saying, and not trying to make the bible say what I think it should.
