21 Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.
23 For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.
24 And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.
25 And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.
26 So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.
28 But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.
29 So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.
30 And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.
31 So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.
32 Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:
33 Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?
34 And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.
35 So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.
21 那时, 彼得前来问耶稣: "主啊, 如果我的弟兄得罪我, 我要饶恕他多少次?七次吗?"
22 耶稣对他说: "我告诉你, 不是七次, 而是七十个七次。
23 因此, 天国好像一个王, 要和他的仆人算帐,
24 刚算的时候, 有人带了一个欠下六千万银币的人来。
25 他没有钱偿还, 主人就下令叫人把他和他的妻子儿女, 以及一切所有的都卖掉, 用来偿还。
26 那仆人就跪下拜他, 说: ‘请宽容我, 我会把一切还给你的。’
27 主人动了慈心, 把那仆人放了, 并且免了他的债。
28 那仆人出来, 遇见一个欠了他一百个银币的仆人, 就抓住他, 扼着他的喉咙, 说: ‘把你欠我的钱还给我。’
29 那和他一同作仆人的就跪下求他, 说: ‘请宽容我, 我会还给你的。’
30 他却不肯, 反而把他带走, 关在监里, 等他把所欠的还清。
31 其他的仆人看见这事, 非常难过, 就去向主人报告这一切事情。
32 于是主人叫他来, 对他说: ‘你这个恶仆, 你求我, 我就免了你欠我的一切。
33 难道你不应该怜悯你的同伴, 好像我怜悯你一样吗?’
34 于是主人大怒, 把他送去服刑, 等他把所欠的一切还清。
35 如果你们各人不从心里饶恕你的弟兄, 我的天父也必这样待你们。"
