The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
The
Parable of the Unforgiving Servant – Matthew 18
21 Then
came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin
against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus said
to him, I say not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times
seven.
23 Therefore
is the
kingdom of heaven likened
to a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24 And
when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, which owed him
ten thousand talents. 25 But
for as much as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold,
and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made. 26 The
servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have
patience with me, and I will pay you all. 27 Then
the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him,
and forgave him the debt. 28 But
the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants,
which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took
him by the throat, saying, Pay me that you owe. 29 And
his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and sought him, saying,
Have patience with me, and I will pay you all. 30 And
he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay
the debt. 31 So
when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and
came and told to their lord all that was done. 32 Then
his lord, after that he had called him, said to him, O you wicked
servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired
me: 33 Should
not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I
had pity on you? 34 And
his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he
should pay all that was due to him. 35 So
likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your
hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Jesus Christ is God Himself. The Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit, They are One. We can know from the bible verses, the Lord Jesus said, “he that has seen me has seen the Father….” (John 14:9) “I am in the Father, and the Father in me….” (John 14:10) “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30).
