18:21 Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?”

The Parable of the Unforgiving Slave
18:23 “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
18:24 As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.
18:25 Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made.
18:26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’
18:27 The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt.
Matthew 18:34
18:34 And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him
until he repaid all he owed.
Luke 7:40-48
7:40 So
Jesus answered him,
“Simon, I have something to say to you.” He replied,
“Say it, Teacher.”
7:41 “A certain creditor
had two debtors; one owed him
five hundred silver coins,
and the other fifty.
7:42 When they could not pay, he canceled
the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
7:43 Simon answered,
“I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled.”
Jesus
said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
7:44 Then,
turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet,
but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
7:45 You gave me no kiss of greeting,
but from the time I entered she has not stopped kissing my feet.
7:46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet
with perfumed oil.
7:47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, thus she loved much;
but the one who is forgiven little loves little.”
7:48 Then
Jesus
said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Luke 11:4
11:4 and forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And do not lead us into temptation.”
