* Then came Peter to him , and said , Lord , how oft shall my brother sin against me , and I forgive him ? till seven times ? * Jesus saith unto him , I say not unto thee , Until seven times : but , Until seventy times seven . * Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king , which would take account of his servants . * And when he had begun to reckon , one was brought unto him , which owed him ten thousand talents . * But forasmuch as he had not to pay , his lord commanded him to be sold , and his wife , and children , and all that he had , and payment to be made . * The servant therefore fell down , and worshipped him , saying , Lord , have patience with me , and I will pay thee all . * Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion , and loosed him , and forgave him the debt . * But the same servant went out , and found one of his fellowservants , which owed him an hundred pence : and he laid hands on him , and took him by the throat , saying , Pay me that thou owest . * And his fellowservant fell down at his feet , and besought him , saying , Have patience with me , and I will pay thee all . * And he would not : but went and cast him into prison , till he should pay the debt . * So when his fellowservants saw what was done , they were very sorry , and came and told unto their lord all that was done . * Then his lord , after that he had called him , said unto him , O thou wicked servant , I forgave thee all that debt , because thou desiredst me : * Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant , even as I had pity on thee ? * And his lord was wroth , and delivered him to the tormentors , till he should pay all that was due unto him . * So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you , if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses .
