018:021 At this point Peter came to Him with the question, "Master, how often shall my brother act wrongly towards me and I forgive him? seven times?" 018:022 "I do not say seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven times. 018:023 "For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants. 018:024 But as soon as he began the settlement, one was brought before him who owed 10,000 talents, 018:025 and was unable to pay. So his master ordered that he and his wife and children and everything that he had should be sold, and payment be made. 018:026 The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. "`Only give me time,' he said, `and I will pay you the whole.' 018:027 "Whereupon his master, touched with compassion, set him free and forgave him the debt. 018:028 But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "`Pay me all you owe.' 018:029 "His fellow servant therefore fell at his feet and entreated him, "`Only give me time,' he said, `and I will pay you.' 018:030 "He would not, however, but went and threw him into prison until he should pay what was due. 018:031 His fellow servants, therefore, seeing what had happened, were exceedingly angry; and they came and told their master without reserve all that had happened. 018:032 At once his master called him and said, "`Wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you entreated me: 018:033 ought not you also to have had pity on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' 018:034 "So his master, greatly incensed, handed him over to the jailers until he should pay all he owed him. 018:035 "In the same way my Heavenly Father will deal with you, if you do not all of you forgive one another from your hearts." 019:001 When Jesus had finished these discourses, He removed from Galilee and came into that part of Judaea which lay beyond the Jordan. 019:002 And a vast multitude followed him, and He cured them there. 019:003 Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?" 019:004 "Have you not read," He replied, "that He who made them `made them' from the beginning `male and female, 019:005 and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be one'? 019:006 Thus they are no longer two, but `one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
