21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?

22 Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.

23 For this cause the kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who would reckon with his bondmen.

24 And having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him.

25 But he not having anything to pay, {his} lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and everything that he had, and that payment should be made.

26 The bondman therefore falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me and I will pay thee all.

27 And the lord of that bondman, being moved with compassion, loosed him and forgave him the loan.

28 But that bondman having gone out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he throttled him, saying, Pay {me} if thou owest anything.

29 His fellow-bondman therefore, having fallen down {at his feet}, besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

30 But he would not, but went away and cast him into prison, until he should pay what was owing.

31 But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what had taken place, were greatly grieved, and went and recounted to their lord all that had taken place.

32 Then his lord, having called him to {him}, says to him, Wicked bondman! I forgave thee all that debt because thou besoughtest me;

33 shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-bondman, as *I* also had compassion on thee?

34 And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormentors till he paid all that was owing to him.

35 Thus also my heavenly Father shall do to you if ye forgive not from your hearts every one 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。"
