One sound

For agree, the Greek uses a word that gives us our word symphony: different voices making one sound together. Jesus says this in the middle of a conversation about quarrels and reconciliation in the church. Just before, it was about someone you want to win back.

It is a great promise. But not every prayer of two people is answered the way they hope. It isn't a trick. Praying together with one voice only works once you have listened to each other. Sometimes that is the hardest part.
