Matthew 18:21-26

21Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?”

22Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times!

23“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

24As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.

25Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made.

26Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’
