g to him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? (22)Jesus saith to
him, I tell thee not until seven times, but unto seventy times seven.

(23)Therefore is the kingdom of heaven like unto a certain king who
purposed to settle his account with his servants. (24)And when he began
to make up the account, there was brought to him one debtor, ten
thousand talents in arrear: (25)but not having wherewithal to pay, his
lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all
things whatsoever he possessed, and payment to be made. (26)Then that
servant falling prostrate, paid him the most profound homage, saying,
Lord, have forbearance with me, and I will pay thee all. (27)Then his
lord, moved with compassion towards that servant, discharged him, and

prison, till he should pay what he owed. (31)Then his fellow-servants,
when they saw what was done, were exceedingly sorry, and came to their
lord, and gave him an explicit account of all things that had passed.
(32)Then his lord, calling him before him, said to him, Thou vile
slave! all that debt I forgave thee, because thou besoughtest me:
(33)and oughtest thou not to have had compassion on thy fellow-servant,
even as I had pity on thee? (34)And his lord, incensed, delivered him
up to the torturers, till he should pay all that he owed him. (35)Even
so also will my heavenly Father do to you, except ye forgive every one
of you his brother, from your hearts, their trespasses.

AND it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed
from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan. (2)And
great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. (3)And the
Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife for every cause? (4)But he replying, said unto
them, Have ye not read, that he who created them from the beginning,
created them male and female? (5)And he said, for this reason shall a
man forsake father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they
two shall be one flesh. (6)Wherefore t
