Up to seven times?”  22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.   23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that all he had be sold to repay the debt.    26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.    28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.    29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’    30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.    32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.    35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Interpretation This parable makes a number of points: 1. God's forgiveness of sin is of enormous magnitude, like the 10,000 talents. 2. This enormous degree of forgiveness should be the model for the way that Christians forgive others. 3. An unforgiving nature is offensive to God. 4. Forgiveness must be genuine. 5. It is like the C.S. Lewis quote, "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." ― C.S.
