21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive

23 “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts
with his slaves.
24 “When he had begun to settle {them,} one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 “But since he did not have {the means} to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.
26 “So the slave fell {to the ground} and prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’
27 “And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.
28 “But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and {began} to choke {him,} saying, ‘Pay back what you owe.’
29 “So his fellow slave fell {to the ground} and {began} to plead with him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’
