Discipline in the Church and forgiveness
Pericope 203 presents Jesus’ teaching on church discipline and forgiveness, at Capernaum in September AD 32. Matthew 18.15-22 and Luke 17.3-4 develop brotherly correction, the authority of the Church, communal prayer and unlimited forgiveness (seventy times seven). These themes form the foundation of a Christian ethic of relationships centered on reconciliation and divine mercy.
Matthew 18.15-22 (King James Version) :Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee 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 thee as an heathen man and a publican.Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The parable of the vinedressers
The parable of the vinedressers (Matt 21.33-46; Mark 12.1-12; Luke 20.9-19), spoken on Holy Tuesday in the courtyard of the Temple, illustrates the history of salvation allegorically: God sends prophets and then his Son, whom the religious leaders reject and kill. The vineyard is transferred to the Church, without however closing the door to the Jewish people, who can enter into the faith.
Luke 20.9-19 (King James Version) :Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
