18:21 The importance of forgiveness
21 [ref]Then Peter approached Yeshua and asked, “Master, how often can someone sin against me and I’ll still have to forgive them?”
22 [ref]“I won’t say seven times,” Yeshua answered, “but seventy times seven times!
23 “It’s because of this that the kingdom of the heavens can be likened to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 So when he began the process, a man was brought in who owed him millions, 25 but since he had no way of repaying it, the master commanded for him and his wife and children and all their possessions to be sold to help pay off the debt. 26 Then that slave dropped to the ground and prostrated himself to the master, saying, ‘Master, give me a little more time and then I’ll be able to repay it all to you.’ 27 So the master felt sorry for that slave and sent him away and forgave his loan.
28 “But when the slave got outside, he found one of his fellow-slaves who owed him a few thousand. He grabbed him and was strangling him with his hands saying, ‘Give back what you owe!’ 29 The fellow slave dropped to the ground and begged him, ‘Give me a little more time and I’ll repay you.’ 30 But the other wasn’t willing, and he went and had the man thrown into prison until he repaid what he owed. 31 The other slaves who had observed all this were very upset, so they went and informed the master about what had happened. 32 So then the master called in the slave that he had forgiven and told him, ‘You evil slave! I forgave you all that obligation because you pleaded with me. 33 Wouldn’t it have been reasonable for you also to have shown mercy to your fellow-slave just like I was merciful to you?’ 34 Now the master who was now quite angry, handed him over to the torturers until he could repay everything that he owed.
35 “So that’s how my heavenly father will treat you if you don’t genuinely forgive others around you.”
