GOSPEL READING Matthew 18:15-35 (21 verses)

Matthew 18:15 “Now if your brother sins against you, go correct him between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

Matthew 18:16 But if he does not listen, take with you in addition one or two others, so that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.

Matthew 18:17 And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses to listen to the church also, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Matthew 18:18 “Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.

Matthew 18:19 Again, truly I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about any matter that they ask, it will be done for them from my Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came up to him and said, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?”

Matthew 18:22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven!

Matthew 18:23 “For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

Matthew 18:24 And when he began to settle them, someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.

Matthew 18:25 And because he did not have enough to repay it, the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

Matthew 18:26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground and began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’

Matthew 18:27 So the master of that slave, because he had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

Matthew 18:28 But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’

Matthew 18:29 Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and began to implore him, saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’

Matthew 18:30 But he did not want to, but rather he went and threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.

Matthew 18:31 So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.

Matthew 18:32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

Matthew 18:33 Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?’

Matthew 18:34 And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.

Matthew 18:35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!”
