rsv@Matthew:18:21 @ Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.
rsv@Matthew:18:22 @ "Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
rsv@Matthew:18:23 @ When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents;
rsv@Matthew:18:24 @ and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
rsv@Matthew:18:25 @ So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, `Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
rsv@Matthew:18:26 @ And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
rsv@Matthew:18:27 @ But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, `Pay what you owe.'
rsv@Matthew:18:28 @ So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you.'
rsv@Matthew:18:29 @ He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt.
rsv@Matthew:18:30 @ When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place.
rsv@Matthew:18:31 @ Then his lord summoned him and said to him, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me;
rsv@Matthew:18:32 @ and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?'
rsv@Matthew:18:33 @ And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt.
rsv@Matthew:18:34 @ So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."
