21 Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
22 Jesus said to him, "I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25 But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’ 27 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 one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’ 30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay back that which was due. 31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord called him in and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’ 34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors until he should pay all that was due to him. 35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
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。"
