Matthew 18:21-26 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. Then Peter came up to him and said, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?”

22. Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven!

23. “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

24. And when he began to settle them, someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.

25. And because he did not have enough to repay it, the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

26. Then the slave threw himself to the ground and began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’
