* Then coming up to Him , Peter said , Lord , how often shall my brother sin against me , and I forgive him ? Until seven times ? * Jesus said to him , I do not say to you , Until seven times , but , Until seventy times seven . * For this reason the kingdom of Heaven has been compared to a man , a king , who decided to take account with his slaves . * And when he began to reckon , one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought near to him . * But he not having any to pay , the lord commanded him to be sold , also his wife and children , and all things , as much as he had , even to pay back . * Then falling down , the slave bowed the knee to him , saying , Lord , have patience with me , and I will pay all to you . * And being filled with pity , the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the loan . * But going out , that slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii . And seizing him , he choked him , saying , Pay me whatever you owe . * Then falling down at his feet , his fellow slave begged him , saying , Have patience with me , and I will pay all to you . * But he would not , but going away he threw him into prison until he pay back the amount owing . * But his fellow slaves , seeing the things happening , they were greatly grieved . And coming they reported to their lord all the things happening . * Then calling him near , his lord said to him , Wicked slave ! I forgave you all that debt , since you begged me . * Ought you not also to favor your fellow slave , as I also favored you ? * And being angry , his lord delivered him up to the tormentors until he pay back all that debt to him . * So also My heavenly Father will do to you unless each of you from your hearts forgive his brother their trespasses .
