[18:21] Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”
[18:22] Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.
[18:23] “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
[18:24] When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
[18:25] And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
[18:26] So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’
[18:27] And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
[18:28] But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’
[18:29] So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’
[18:30] He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt.
[18:31] When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place.
[18:32] Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.
[18:33] And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’
[18:34] And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt.
[18:35] So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
