                                                           Forgive 

                                           SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK

                                                  Matthew 18:21-35

 

 

  

 

                                                                                                                                          

21) Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord,

how often shall my brother sin against me,

and I forgive him?" Up to seven times?

 

22) Jesus said unto him, I do not say to you, up

to seven times, but seventy times seven.

 

23) Therefore the Kingdom of heaven is like a certain King

who wanted to settled his 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, with his wife and children and all that

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 all.

 

27) Then the Master of that servant was moved with

Compassion, released him, and forgave him his 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 all. 30) And he would not, but 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 what 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 compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity you? 34) And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was dued to him. 35) So my heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.
