Matthew 18:21-19:10

| Matthew 18 (NKJV™) | |
| 21 | Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" |
| 22 | Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. |
| 23 | "Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. |
| 24 | "And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. |
| 25 | "But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. |
| 26 | "The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' |
| 27 | "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. |
| 28 | "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' |
| 29 | "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' |
| 30 | "And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. |
| 31 | "So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. |
| 32 | "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. |
| 33 | 'Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' |
| 34 | "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. |
| 35 | "So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses." |
| Matthew 19 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. |
| 2 | And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there. |
| 3 | The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?" |
| 4 | And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' |
| 5 | "and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? |
| 6 | "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." |
| 7 | They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?" |
| 8 | He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. |
| 9 | "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." |
| 10 | His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry." |
