*
Then came Peter to him ,
and said ,
Lord ,
how often shall my brother sin against me ,
and I forgive him ?
till seven times ?
*
Jesus says unto him ,
I say not unto you ,
Until seven times :
but ,
Until seventy times seven .
*
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king ,
which would take account (
o .
logos )
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 you 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 fellow servants ,
which owed him an hundred pence :
and he laid hands on him ,
and took him by the throat ,
saying ,
Pay me that you owe .
*
And his fellow servant fell down at his feet ,
and besought him ,
saying ,
Have patience with me ,
and I will pay you all .
*
And he would not :
but went and cast him into prison ,
till he should pay the debt .
*
So when his fellow servants 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 you wicked servant ,
I forgave you all that debt ,
because you desired me :
*
Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant ,
even as I had pity on you ?
*
And his lord was angry ,
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 all of you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses .
