18. Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be what has been bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be what has been loosed in heaven.
19. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.
20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22. Jesus said unto him,
23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would take account of his servants.
24. And when he had begun the reckoning, one was brought unto him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
25. But since he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and released him, and forgave him the debt.
28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.
29. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
30. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31. So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you desired me:
33. Should not you also have had compassion on your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you?
34. And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses.
