Matthew 18:20-35

20For whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 have gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in My nameG3686, 1I amG1510 thereG1563 in their midstG3319.”

21ThenG5119 PeterG4074 cameG4334 and saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, 2howG4212 oftenG4212 shall my brotherG80 sinG264 againstG1519 me and I forgiveG863 him? Up to 3sevenG2034 timesG2034?” 22JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “I do not sayG3004 to you, up to sevenG2034 timesG2034, but up to 4seventyG1441 timesG1441 sevenG2033.

23“For thisG3778 reasonG1223 5the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 6may be comparedG3666 to a kingG935 whoG3739 wishedG2309 to 7settleG4868 accountsG3056 with his slavesG1401. 24When he had begunG757 to settleG4868 them, oneG1520 who owedG3781 him 8tenG3463 thousandG3463 talentsG5007 was broughtG4317 to him. 25But since he 910did not haveG2192 the means to repayG591, his lordG2962 commandedG2753 him 11to be soldG4097, alongG2532 with his wifeG1135 and childrenG5043 and allG3956 that he hadG2192, and repaymentG591 to be madeG591. 26SoG3767 the slaveG1401 fellG4098 to the ground and 12prostratedG4352 himselfG4352 beforeG4352 him, sayingG3004, ‘HaveG3114 patienceG3114 with me and I will repayG591 you everythingG3956.’ 27And the lordG2962 of that slaveG1401 feltG4697 compassionG4697 and releasedG630 him and 13forgaveG863 him the 14debtG1156. 28But that slaveG1401 wentG1831 out and foundG2147 oneG1520 of his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 whoG3739 owedG3784 him a hundredG1540 15denariiG1220; and he seizedG2902 him and began to chokeG4155 him, sayingG3004, ‘PayG591 backG591 whatG5101 you oweG3784.’ 29SoG3767 his fellowG4889 slaveG4889 fellG4098 to the ground and began to pleadG3870 with him, sayingG3004, ‘HaveG3114 patienceG3114 with me and I will repayG591 you.’ 30But he was unwillingG3756G2309 16and wentG565 and threwG906 him in prisonG5438 untilG2193 he should payG591 backG591 whatG3588 was owedG3784. 31SoG3767 when his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 sawG3708 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, they were deeplyG4970 grievedG3076 and cameG2064 and reportedG1285 to their lordG2962 allG3956 that had happenedG1096. 32ThenG5119 summoningG4341 him, his lordG2962 saidG3004 to him, ‘You wickedG4190 slaveG1401, I forgaveG863 you allG3956 that debtG3782 becauseG1893 you pleadedG3870 with me. 3317ShouldG1163 you not alsoG2532 have hadG1653 mercyG1653 on your fellowG4889 slaveG4889, in the sameG5613 wayG5613 that I hadG1653 mercyG1653 on you?’ 34And his lordG2962, movedG3710 with angerG3710, handedG3860 him overG3860 to the torturersG930 untilG2193 he should repayG591 allG3956 that was owedG3784 him. 3518My heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 doG4160 the sameG3779 to you, ifG1437 eachG1538 of you does not forgiveG863 his brotherG80 from 19your heartG2588.”
