18. Verily I say to you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
19. Again I say to you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, concerning any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20. For where two or three are assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22. Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king who would take account of his servants.
24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25. But as he had not ability to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
29. And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31. So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32. Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33. Shouldst thou not also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
