Matthew 18:21-25

New American Standard Bible

Forgiveness

²¹ Then Peter came up and said to Him, “Lord, ^(A)how many times shall my brother sin against me and I still forgive him? Up to ^(B)seven times?” ²² Jesus *said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to ^[a](C)seventy-seven times.

²³ “For this reason ^(D)the kingdom of heaven ^[b]is like a king who wanted to ^(E)settle accounts with his slaves. ²⁴ And when he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ^[c]ten thousand talents was brought to him. ²⁵ But since he ^[d](F)did not have the means to repay, his master commanded that he ^(G)be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment be made.
