Iesus said vnto him ,
I say not to thee ,
Vnto seuen times ,
but ,
Vnto seuentie times seuen times .
*
Thereefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King ,
which would take an account of his seruants .
*
And when he had begun to reckon ,
one was brought unto him ,
which owed him (
note :)
Here is set down a very great sum of six thousand crowns ,
that the difference may be the greater ,
for there is no proportion between them .(:
note )
ten thousand talents .
*
And because he had nothing to pay ,
his Lord commanded him to be solde ,
and his wife ,
and his children ,
and all that he had ,
and the dette to be payed .
*
The servant therefore fell down ,
and (
note :)
This was a polite reverence which was very common in the East .(:
note )
worshipped him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
Yield not too much to your anger against me :
so is God called in the Scripture ,
slow to anger ,
that is to say ,
gentle ,
and one that refrains his fierce wrath , (
Psa_86
:5 );
patient and of great mercy .
have patience with me ,
and I will pay thee all .
*
Then that seruants Lord had compassion ,
and loosed him ,
and forgaue him the dette .
*
But when the seruant was departed ,
hee found one of his felow seruants ,
which ought him an hundred pence , &
amp ;
he layde hands on him ,
and thratled him ,
saying ,
Pay me that thou owest .
*
Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete ,
and besought him ,
saying ,
Refraine thine anger towards me ,
and I will pay thee all .
*
Yet he would not ,
but went and cast him into prison ,
till he should pay the dette .
*
And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done ,
they were very sory , &
amp ;
came ,
and declared vnto their Lord all that was done .
*
Then his Lord called him vnto him ,
and sayd to him ,
O euil seruant ,
I forgaue thee all that dette ,
because thou prayedst me .
*
Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant ,
euen as I had pitie on thee ?
*
So his Lord was wroth ,
and deliuered him to the tormentours ,
till he should pay all that was due to him .
*
So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you ,
except ye forgiue from your hearts ,
eche one to his brother their trespasses .
