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 said to him, I do not say to 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 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, also his wife and children and everything he had, and that payment be made.

26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.

27 Then the master of that servant was 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 denarii; and he laid hands on 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 pay you everything.

30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.

32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay every bit that was due to him.

35 Thus My Heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.

21 Então Pedro, aproximando-se dele, disse: Senhor, até quantas vezes pecará meu irmão contra mim, e eu lhe perdoarei? Até sete? 22 Jesus lhe disse: Não te digo que até sete, mas, até setenta vezes sete.

23 Por isso o reino dos céus pode comparar-se a um certo rei que quis fazer contas com os seus servos; 24 E, começando a fazer contas, foi-lhe apresentado um que lhe devia dez mil talentos; 25 E, não tendo ele com que pagar, o seu senhor mandou que ele, e sua mulher e seus filhos fossem vendidos, com tudo quanto tinha, para que a dívida se lhe pagasse. 26 Então aquele servo, prostrando-se, o reverenciava, dizendo: Senhor, sê generoso para comigo, e tudo te pagarei. 27 Então o senhor daquele servo, movido de íntima compaixão, soltou-o e perdoou-lhe a dívida. 28 Saindo, porém, aquele servo, encontrou um dos seus conservos, que lhe devia cem dinheiros, e, lançando mão dele sufocava o, dizendo: Paga-me o que me deves. 29 Então o seu companheiro, prostrando-se a seus pés, rogava-lhe, dizendo: Sê generoso para comigo, e tudo te pagarei. 30 Ele, porém, não quis, antes foi encerrá-lo na prisão, até que pagasse a dívida. 31 Vendo pois os seus conservos o que acontecia, contristaram-se muito, e foram declarar ao seu senhor tudo o que se passara. 32 Então o seu senhor, chamando-o à sua presença, disse-lhe: Servo malvado, perdoei-te toda aquela dívida, porque me suplicaste, 33 Não devias tu igualmente ter compaixão do teu companheiro, como eu também tive misericórdia de ti? 34 E, indignado, o seu senhor o entregou aos atormentadores, até que pagasse tudo o que devia. 35 Assim vos fará também meu Pai celestial, se do coração não perdoardes, cada um a seu irmão, as suas ofensas.
