Matthew 18:21-35 - The Parable Of The Unforgiving Slave
21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?
22 Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of the heavens likened unto a man who is king who would take account of his slaves. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, to make payment.
26 The slave therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 Then the lord of that slave was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt.
28 But as the same slave was leaving, he found one of his fellowslaves who owed him a hundred denarius, and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
29 And his fellowslave fell down at his feet and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30 And he would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellowslaves saw what was done, they were very grieved and came and declared unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that debt because thou didst beseech me; 33 was it not also expedient unto thee to have mercy on thy fellowslave even as I had mercy on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due unto him. 35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you unless from your hearts ye forgive every one his brother their trespasses.
