马太所著的耶稣传记——不饶恕人的恶仆的比喻
那时彼得进前来,对耶稣说,主阿,我弟兄得罪我,我当饶恕他几次呢?到七次可以吗? (18:21)
耶稣说,我对你说,不是到七次,乃是到七十个七次。 (18:22)
天国好像一个王,要和他仆人算账。 (18:23)
才算的时候,有人带了一个欠一千万银子的来。 (18:24)
因为他没有什么偿还之物,主人吩咐把他和他妻子儿女,并一切所有的都卖了偿还。 (18:25)
那仆人就俯伏拜他说,主阿,宽容我,将来我都要还清。 (18:26)
那仆人的主人,就动了慈心,把他释放了,并且免了他的债。 (18:27)
那仆人出来,遇见他的一个同伴,欠他十两银子,便揪着他,掐住他的喉咙,说,你把所欠的还我。 (18:28)
他的同伴就俯伏央求他,说,宽容我吧,将来我必还清。 (18:29)
他不肯,竟去把他下在监里,等他还了所欠的债。 (18:30)
众同伴看见他所作的事,就甚忧愁,去把这事都告诉了主人。 (18:31)
于是主人叫了他来,对他说,你这恶奴才,你央求我,我就把你所欠的都免了。 (18:32)
你不应当怜恤你的同伴像我怜恤你吗? (18:33)
主人就大怒,把他交给掌刑的,等他还清了所欠的债。 (18:34)
你们各人若不从心里饶恕你的弟兄,我天父也要这样待你们了。 (18:35)

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
Then Peter came and
said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? Until seven times?"
Jesus said to him,
"I don't tell you until seven times, but, until
seventy times seven. Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven
is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his
servants. When he had
begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten
thousand talents. But because he couldn't pay, his
lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that
he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down
and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will
repay you all!' The lord
of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave
him the debt.
"But that servant went out,
and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one
hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat,
saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
"So his fellow servant fell
down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I
will repay you!' He
would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back
that which was due. So
when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry,
and came and told to their lord all that was done. Then his lord called him in, and
said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you
begged me. Shouldn't you
also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
His lord was angry, and
delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to
him. So my heavenly
Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from
your hearts for his misdeeds."
