Matt. 18:21‑35• 21{i}Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?{/i}
 22{i}Jesus says to him, I say not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven.{/i}
 23For this the kingdom of the heavens is likened to a king who would make a reckoning with his bondmen.
 24And when he began to reckon, one debtor for ten thousand talents was brought to him.
 25But as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and the children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
 26The bondman then falling down did him homage, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay all.
 27And the lord of the bondman, moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
 28But that bondman, on going out, found one of his fellow-bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii, and having laid hold he was grasping his throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
 29His fellow-bondman then, falling at his feet, besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
 30And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay what was owing.
 31But his fellow-bondmen, having seen what was being done, were greatly grieved, and went and fully explained to their lord all that was done.
 32Then his lord, having summoned him, saith to him, Wicked bondman, all that debt I forgave thee, since thou didst beseech me:
 33oughtedst not thou also to have pitied thy fellow-bondman, as I also pitied thee?
 34And his lord, in wrath, delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that was owing to him.
 35Thus also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if ye forgive not from your hearts each his brother. (Matt. 18:21‑35)

Luke 7:40‑48• 40{i}And Jesus answering said to him,{/i} Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee; and he saith, Teacher, say [it].
 41There were two debtors of a certain creditor: one owed five hundred pence , and the other fifty;
 42{i}but as they had nothing to pay, he{/i} forgave both of them [their debt]: {i}[say,] which of them therefore will love him most?{/i}
 43{i}And Simon answering said,{/i} I suppose he to whom he forgave the most. {i}And he said to him,{/i} Thou hast rightly judged.
 44And turning to the woman he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gavest me no water for my feet, but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
 45Thou gavest me no kiss, but she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased kissing my feet;
 46my head with oil thou didst not anoint, but she hath anointed my feet with myrrh.
 47For which cause I say unto thee, Her many sins are forgiven, for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
 48{i}And he said to her,{/i} Thy sins are forgiven. (Luke 7:40‑48)
