Goodspeed(i)
19 Again, I tell you, if even two of you here on earth agree about what they shall pray for, it will be given them by my Father in heaven.
20 For wherever two or three are gathered as my followers, I am there among them."
21 Then Peter came to him and said, "Master, how many times am I to forgive my brother when he wrongs me? Seven times over?"
22 Jesus said to him, "Not seven times over, I tell you, but seventy-seven times over!
23 For this reason the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king, who resolved to settle accounts with his slaves.
24 And when he set about doing so, a man was brought in who owed him ten million dollars.
25 And as he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all he had, in payment of the debt.
26 So the slave threw himself down before him and implored him, 'Give me time, and I will pay you all of it.'
27 And his master's heart was touched, and he let the slave go and canceled the debt.
28 But when the slave went out he met a fellow-slave of his who owed him twenty dollars, and he caught him by the throat and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
29 So his fellow-slave threw himself down before him, and begged him, 'Give me time, and I will pay you.'
30 But he refused and went and had him put in prison until he should pay the debt.
31 When his fellow-slaves saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went to their master and reported the whole matter to him.
32 Then his master called him in and said to him, 'You wicked slave! I canceled all that debt of yours when you entreated me.
33 Ought you not to have taken pity on your fellow-slave, as I did on you?'
34 So his master in his anger handed him over to the jailers, until he should pay all he owed him.
35 That is what my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not each forgive your brothers from your hearts!"
