11th Sunday After Pentecost

Orthodox Study Bible

18:21-35 Unlimited forgiveness toward a brother or sister is illustrated by this parable. Sin is portrayed as a debt to God (6:12), a: debt originated by neglecting God’s will. Ten thousand talents (v. 24) as an impossible sum, more than a laborer could earn in all lifetime – is contrasted to a hundred denarii (v. 28), equivalent to about a hundred days’ wages. Just as the king shows mercy and severity toward the servant, so does God show love and strictness toward us depending on our willingness to forgive our brothers and sisters., The love of God is manifested in paying off the debt, a remission or letting go of sins. Because God forgives us, we in return are obliged to grant this gift of forgiveness to others. When each Christian forgives from his heart (v. 35), true reconciliation and healing come to the Church by God’s grace.
