Matthew 18:21-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. Then Peter, drawing near to him, said: "Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Even seven times?"

22. Jesus said to him: "I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times.

23. Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants.

24. And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25. But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it.

26. But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.'

27. Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt.
