²¹ Then Peter advancing to him, said, Lord, if my brother injures me, how many injuries must I forgive him? must I forgive him seven? ²² Jesus answered, I tell thee not only seven: but seventy times seven. ²³ In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account. ²⁴ when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him indebted the sum of ten thousand talents. ²⁵ but being insolvent, his lord gave orders that he, with his wife, and children, and all that he had, should be sold for payment. ²⁶ the servant therefore fell prostrate before him, and cry'd out, Lord, allow me but time and I will pay the whole. ²⁷ upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt. ²⁸ but this very servant presently after met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him an hundred pence: and violently seizing him, said, pay me the debt. ²⁹ and his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and embraced him, saying, allow me time, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰ which he would not allow: but immediately threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹ his fellow-servants upon seeing this were very much concern'd, and went to acquaint their master with what had pass'd. ³² then his lord order'd him to be call'd, and said to him, O thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all thy debt, upon your request: ³³ should not you then have had the like compassion for thy fellow servant as I had for thee? ³⁴ so that his lord in great displeasure delivered him to the jayler till he should pay the whole debt. ³⁵ in the same manner will my heavenly father likewise treat you, if ye do not sincerely forgive every one the trespasses of his brother.
