Even seven times?” - 22 Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you, even seven times, but even seventy times seven times. - 23 Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who was king, who wanted to take account of his servants. - 24 And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. - 25 But since he did not have any way to repay it, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children, and all that he had, in order to repay it. - 26 But that servant, falling prostrate, begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’ - 27 Then the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, released him, and he forgave his debt. - 28 But when that servant departed, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him one hundred denarius. And taking hold of him, he choked him, saying: ‘Repay what you owe.’ - 29 And his fellow servant, falling prostrate, petitioned him, saying: ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay it all to you.’ - 30 But he was not willing. Instead, he went out and had him sent to prison, until he would repay the debt. - 31 Now his fellow servants, seeing what was done, were greatly saddened, and they went and reported to their lord all that was done. - 32 Then his lord called him, and he said to him: ‘You wicked servant, I forgave you all your debt, because you pleaded with me. - 33 Therefore, should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I also had compassion on you?’ - 34 And his lord, being angry, handed him over to the torturers, until he repaid the entire debt. - 35 So, too, shall my heavenly Father do to you, if each one of you will not forgive his brother from your hearts.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Matthew 18](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/18/) Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
