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。"
21 Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But forasmuch as he had not wherewith 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 worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest. 29 So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. 31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. 35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
