Matthew 18:21-26

21ThenG5119 PeterG4074 cameG4334 toG846 Jesus and askedG2036, “LordG2962, how many timesG4212 shall I forgiveG863 myG1473 brotherG80 who sinsG264 againstG1519 meG1473? Up toG2193 seven timesG2034?”

22

JesusG2424 answeredG3004G846, “I tellG3004 youG4771, notG3756 justG2193 seven timesG2034, butG235 seventy-seven timesG1441G2033!1

23Because ofG1223 thisG3778, theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 is likeG3666 a kingG935 whoG3739 wantedG2309 to settleG4868 accountsG3056 withG3326 hisG846 servantsG1401. 24AsG1161 heG846 beganG756 the settlementsG4868, aG1520 debtorG3781 owing ten thousandG3463 talentsG5007 was broughtG4374 to himG846.2 25SinceG1161 the man was unableG3361G2192 to payG591, theG3588 masterG2962 ordered thatG2753 heG846 be soldG4097 to pay his debtG591, along withG2532 his wifeG1135 andG2532 childrenG5043 andG2532 everythingG3956 he ownedG2192.

26ThenG3767 theG3588 servantG1401 fellG4098 on his kneesG4352 before himG846. ‘Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1473,’ he beggedG3004, ‘andG2532 I will payG591 backG4771 everythingG3956.’
