Matthew 18:21-26

21Then Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, 1how many times shall my brother sin against me and I still forgive him? Up to 2seven times?” 22Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to 34seventy-seven times.

23“For this reason 5the kingdom of heaven 6is like a king who wanted to 7settle accounts with his slaves. 24And when he had begun to settle them, one who owed him 8ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25But since he 910did not have the means to repay, his master commanded that he 11be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment be made. 26So the slave fell to the ground and 12prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’
