18:22. Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till
seventy times seven times.
18:23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would
take an account of his servants.
18:24. And when he had begun to take the account, one as brought to him,
that owed him ten thousand talents.
Talents... A talent was seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, which
at the rate of five shillings to the ounce is a hundred and eighty-seven
pounds ten shillings sterling.
18:25. And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he
should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made.
18:26. But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:27. And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go
and forgave him the debt.
18:28. But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-
servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he
throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
Pence... The Roman penny was the eighth part of an ounce, that is, about
sevenpence half-penny English.
18:29. And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
18:30. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid
the debt.
18:31. Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much
grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done.
18:32. Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I
forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
18:33. Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow
servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
18:34. And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he
paid all the debt.
18:35. So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not
every one his brother from your hearts.
Matthew Chapter 19
Christ declares matrimony to be indissoluble: he recommends the making
one's self an eunuch for the kingdom of heaven; and parting with all
things for him. He shews the danger of riches, and the reward of leaving
all to follow him.
19:1. And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed
from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
19:2. And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
19:3. And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying: Is it
lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
19:4. Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made
man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said:
19:5. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
19:6. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
19:7. They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of
divorce, and to put away?
19:8. He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your
heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it
was not so.
