Matthew 18:21-26

21Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, 1how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to 2seven times?” 22Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to 3seventy times seven.

23“For this reason 4the kingdom of heaven 5may be compared to a king who wished to 6settle accounts with his slaves. 24When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him 7ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25But since he 89did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him 10to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. 26So the slave fell to the ground and 11prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’
