 The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I
forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? 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 he and his wife and his children and all that 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.”

Responsive Scripture - Matthew 17:1-13

The Transfiguration
1. Six days later, Jesus *took with Him Peter and James, and his
brother John, and *led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

2 And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the
sun, and His garments became as white as light.

3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

4 Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, I will make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them,
and behold, a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground
and were terrified.

7 And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.”

8 And raising their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.

9 When they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus
commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

10 And His disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that
Elijah must come first?”

11 And He answered and said, “Elijah is coming and will restore all
things;

12 but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not
recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them
about John the Baptist.
