18 Revised Standard Version Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

21Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?"The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Mt.18.21-35 (Capernaum)Τότε προσελθὼν ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Κύριε, ποσάκις ἀμαρτήσει εἰς ἐμὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἀφήσω αὐτῷ; ἑως ἑπτάκις;
22Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐ λέγω σοι ἑως ἑπτάκις ἀλλὰ ἑως ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά.
23"Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. Διὰ τοῦτο ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ βασιλεῖ ὃς ἠθέλησεν συνᾶραι λόγον μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ.
24When he began the reckoning, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents; ἀρξαμένου δὲ αὐτοῦ συναίρειν προσηνέχθη αὐτῷ εἷς ὀφειλέτης μυρίων ταλάντων.
25and as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. μὴ ἐχοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποδοῦναι ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος πραθῆναι καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ τέκνα καὶ πάντα ὁσα ἐχει, καὶ ἀποδοθῆναι.
26So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' πεσὼν οὖν ὁ δοῦλος προσεκύνει αὐτῷ λέγων, Μακροθύμησον ἐπ' ἐμοί, καὶ πάντα ἀποδώσω σοι.
27And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. σπλαγχνισθεὶς δὲ ὁ κύριος τοῦ δούλου ἐκείνου ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν, καὶ τὸ δάνειον ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ.
28But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, 'Pay what you owe.' ἐξελθὼν δὲ ὁ δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος εὗρεν ἑνα τῶν συνδούλων αὐτοῦ ὃς ὠφειλεν αὐτῷ ἑκατὸν δηνάρια, καὶ κρατήσας αὐτὸν ἐπνιγεν λέγων, Ἀπόδος εἰ τι ὀφείλεις.
29So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you.' πεσὼν οὖν ὁ σύνδουλος αὐτοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτὸν λέγων, Μακροθύμησον ἐπ' ἐμοί, καὶ ἀποδώσω σοι.
30He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt. ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἠθελεν, ἀλλὰ ἀπελθὼν ἐβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακὴν ἑως ἀποδῷ τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.
31When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. ἰδόντες οὖν οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτοῦ τὰ γενόμενα ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐλθόντες διεσάφησαν τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν πάντα τὰ γενόμενα.
32Then his lord summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you besought me; τότε προσκαλεσάμενος αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ λέγει αὐτῷ, Δοῦλε πονηρέ, πᾶσαν τὴν ὀφειλὴν ἐκείνην ἀφῆκά σοι, ἐπεὶ παρεκάλεσάς με·
33and should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' οὐκ ἐδει καὶ σὲ ἐλεῆσαι τὸν σύνδουλόν σου, ὡς κἀγὼ σὲ ἠλέησὰ;
34And in anger his lord delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all his debt. καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν τοῖς βασανισταῖς ἑως οὗ ἀποδῷ πᾶν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον.
35So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart." Οὑτως καὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ οὐράνιος ποιήσει ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ ἀφῆτε ἑκαστος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν καρδιῶν ὑμῶν.
