God’s Word
Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but
up to seventy times seven.
23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted
to settle accounts with his servants.
24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him
who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be
sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that
payment be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have
patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
27 "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion,
released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants
who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took
him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him,
saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
30 "And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he
should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were
very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.
32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You
wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant,
just as I had pity on you?'
34 "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers
until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from
his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."
