Lamsa(i)
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, My Lord, if my brother is at fault with me, how many times should I 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 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who wanted to take an accounting from his servants.
24 And when he began to take the accounting, they brought to him one who owed ten thousand talents.
25 And as he could not pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children, and all that he had, so that he could pay.
26 The servant then fell down, worshipped him, and said, My lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.
27 Then the master of that servant had pity, so he released him, and cancelled his debt.
28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred cents; and he seized him, and tried to choke him, saying to him, Give me what you owe me.
29 So his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and begged him and said, Have patience with me, and I will pay you.
30 But he was not willing; and he went and had him put into prison, until he should pay him what he owed him.
31 When their fellow-servants saw what had happened, they were very sorry, and they came and informed their master of everything that had happened.
32 Then his master called him and said to him, O wicked servant, I cancelled all your debt because you begged me.
33 Was it not right for you to have mercy on your fellow-servant, just as I had mercy on you?
34 So his master was angry, and delivered him to the scourgers, until he should pay everything he owed him.
35 So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not forgive each man his brotherÆs fault from your heart.
