20. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them.”

21. Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how many times could my brother sin against me and I forgive him? As many as seven times? ”

23. For this reason, the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

24. When he began to settle accounts, one who owed 10,000 talents was brought before him.

25. Since he had no way to pay it back, his master commanded that he, his wife, his children, and everything he had be sold to pay the debt.

26. “At this, the slave fell facedown before him and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything! ’

27. Then the master of that slave had compassion, released him, and forgave him the loan.
