21 - Then Peter came up and asked Jesus, “Lord, how many times, if my brother sins against me, should I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said, “I don’t say seven times, but seventy-seven times.
23 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wished to settle his accounts with his servants. 24 When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 And since he couldn’t pay, his master ordered his indenture to be sold, with his wife and children and all he had, and payment to be made. 26 So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I’ll pay you everything.’ 27 And out of pity, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the whole debt. 28 But later, that same servant went out, and when he saw one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, he seized him, and was throttling him, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’ 29 And his fellow servant {his neighbor/fellow person} fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I’ll pay you.’ 30 But he refused and went and had him put in prison until he should pay all the debt.
31 When his fellow servants saw it, they were greatly distressed, and reported it to the master/mister. 32 Then the master summoned the man and said, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had on you?’ 34 And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, untiL he should pay all his debt. {Cause and effect, fiery trials.} 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you don’t forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
