Matthew 18:21-35

21ThenG5119 cameG4334 PeterG4074 to himG846, and saidG2036, LordG2962, how oftenG4212 shall myG3450 brotherG80 sinG264 againstG1519 meG1691, andG2532 I forgiveG863 himG846? tillG2193 seven timesG2034? 22JesusG2424 saithG3004 to himG846, I sayG3004 notG3756 to theeG4671, UntilG2193 seven timesG2034: butG235, UntilG2193 seventy timesG1441 sevenG2033. 23ThereforeG1223G5124 is the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 likenedG3666 to a certainG444 kingG935, whoG3739 wouldG2309 takeG4868 accountG3056 ofG3326 hisG846 servantsG1401. 24AndG1161 when heG846 had begunG756 to reckonG4868, oneG1520 was broughtG4374 to himG846, who owedG3781 himG846 ten thousandG3463 talentsG5007.1 25But asG1161 heG846 hadG2192 nothingG3361 with which to payG591, hisG846 lordG2962 commandedG2753 himG846 to be soldG4097, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 payment to be madeG591. 26The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fell downG4098, and worshippedG4352 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.2 27ThenG1161 the lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 was moved with compassionG4697, and loosedG630 himG846, andG2532 forgaveG863 himG846 the debtG1156. 28ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whoG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 whatG3748 thou owestG3784.3 29AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956. 30AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784. 31SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 to theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096. 32ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, having calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 to himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou didst begG3870 meG3165: 33ShouldestG1163 thouG4571 notG3756 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571? 34AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was angryG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the torturersG930, tillG2193G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 to himG846. 35SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 to youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
