Daniel 3: 25, 34- 43

3:25Then Azariah, while standing, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, rekel je:
3:34Do not hand us over forever, we ask you, because of your name, and do not abolish your covenant.
3:35And do not withdraw your mercy from us, because of Abraham, your beloved, and Isaac, tvoj služabnik, and Israel, your holy one.
3:36You have spoken with them, promising that you would multiply their offspring like the stars of heaven and like the sand on the seashore.
3:37For we, O Gospod, are diminished more than all other peoples, and we are brought low throughout all the earth, ta dan, because of our sins.
3:38Neither is there, at this time, a leader, or a ruler, or a prophet, nor any holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits, in your eyes,
3:39so that we may be able to find your mercy. Kljub temu, with a contrite soul and humble spirit, let us be accepted.
3:40Just as in the holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, in order to please you. For there is no shame for those who trust in you.
3:41And now we follow you wholeheartedly, and we fear you, and we seek your face.
3:42Do not put us to shame, but deal with us in agreement with your clemency and according to the multitude of your mercies.
3:43And rescue us by your wonders and give glory to your name, O Gospod.

Matej 18: 21- 35

18:21Potem Peter, približati se mu, rekel: »Gospod, kolikokrat bo moj brat grešil zoper mene, in jaz mu odpustim? Tudi sedemkrat?”
18:22Jezus mu je rekel: »Ne rečem vam, celo sedemkrat, ampak celo sedemdesetkrat sedemkrat.
18:23Zato, nebeško kraljestvo se primerja s človekom, ki je bil kralj, ki je hotel računati s svojimi služabniki.
18:24In ko je začel upoštevati, pripeljali so mu enega, ki mu je bil dolžan deset tisoč talentov.
18:25Ker pa tega ni imel kako poplačati, njegov gospod ga je ukazal prodati, z ženo in otroki, in vse kar je imel, da bi ga poplačal.
18:26Toda tisti služabnik, padati pokonci, ga prosil, govoriti, »Potrpi z menoj, in vse ti bom povrnil.«
18:27Potem gospodar tistega služabnika, ganjen od usmiljenja, ga je izpustil, in odpustil mu je dolg.
18:28Ko pa je ta služabnik odšel, našel je enega svojih soslužabnikov, ki mu je bil dolžan sto denarijev. In ga prijeti, ga je dušil, govoriti: "Povrni, kar dolguješ."
18:29In njegov soslužabnik, padati pokonci, ga prosil, govoriti: »Potrpi z menoj, in vse ti bom povrnil.«
18:30Vendar ni bil voljan. Namesto tega, šel je ven in ga dal poslati v zapor, dokler ne bo poplačal dolga.
18:31Zdaj njegovi soslužabniki, videl, kaj je bilo narejeno, bili zelo užaloščeni, in šli so ter poročali svojemu gospodu o vsem, kar se je zgodilo.
18:32Nato ga je poklical njegov gospodar, in mu je rekel: 'Ti hudobni služabnik, Odpustil sem ti ves tvoj dolg, ker si me prosila.
18:33Zato, ali se ne bi moral usmiliti tudi svojega soslužabnika, tako kot sem imel sočutje tudi do tebe?'
18:34In njegov gospodar, biti jezen, ga je izročil mučiteljem, dokler ne poplača celotnega dolga.
18:35torej, preveč, vam bo moj nebeški Oče storil, če vsak izmed vas ne odpusti iz srca svojemu bratu.«
