| Mat 18:21 | Kemudian datanglah Petrus dan berkata kepada Yesus: "Tuhan, sampai berapa kali aku harus mengampuni saudaraku jika ia berbuat dosa terhadap aku? Sampai tujuh kali?" |
| Mat 18:22 | Yesus berkata kepadanya: "Bukan! Aku berkata kepadamu: Bukan sampai tujuh kali, melainkan sampai tujuh puluh kali tujuh kali. |
| Mat 18:23 | Sebab hal Kerajaan Sorga seumpama seorang raja yang hendak mengadakan perhitungan dengan hamba-hambanya. |
| Mat 18:24 | Setelah ia mulai mengadakan perhitungan itu, dihadapkanlah kepadanya seorang yang berhutang sepuluh ribu talenta. |
| Mat 18:25 | Tetapi karena orang itu tidak mampu melunaskan hutangnya, raja itu memerintahkan supaya ia dijual beserta anak isterinya dan segala miliknya untuk pembayar hutangnya. |
| Mat 18:26 | Maka sujudlah hamba itu menyembah dia, katanya: Sabarlah dahulu, segala hutangku akan kulunaskan. |
| Mat 18:27 | Lalu tergeraklah hati raja itu oleh belas kasihan akan hamba itu, sehingga ia membebaskannya dan menghapuskan hutangnya. |
| Mat 18:28 | Tetapi ketika hamba itu keluar, ia bertemu dengan seorang hamba lain yang berhutang seratus dinar kepadanya. Ia menangkap dan mencekik kawannya itu, katanya: Bayar hutangmu! |
| Mat 18:29 | Maka sujudlah kawannya itu dan memohon kepadanya: Sabarlah dahulu, hutangku itu akan kulunaskan. |
| Mat 18:30 | Tetapi ia menolak dan menyerahkan kawannya itu ke dalam penjara sampai dilunaskannya hutangnya. |
| Mat 18:31 | Melihat itu kawan-kawannya yang lain sangat sedih lalu menyampaikan segala yang terjadi kepada tuan mereka. |
| Mat 18:32 | Raja itu menyuruh memanggil orang itu dan berkata kepadanya: Hai hamba yang jahat, seluruh hutangmu telah kuhapuskan karena engkau memohonkannya kepadaku. |
| Mat 18:33 | Bukankah engkaupun harus mengasihani kawanmu seperti aku telah mengasihani engkau? |
| Mat 18:34 | Maka marahlah tuannya itu dan menyerahkannya kepada algojo-algojo, sampai ia melunaskan seluruh hutangnya. |
| Mat 18:35 | Maka Bapa-Ku yang di sorga akan berbuat demikian juga terhadap kamu, apabila kamu masing-masing tidak mengampuni saudaramu dengan segenap hatimu." |
RENUNGAN
Dalam bacaan injil ini Tuhan Yesus mengatakan untuk terus mengampuni terhadap sesama saudaramu, bahkan kalau perlu sampai tujuh puluh kali tujuh kali untuk mengampuni, bukan hanya tujuh kali melainkan memaafkan selalu terhadap yang bersalah kepada kita.
Karena Tuhan pun memaafkan segala dosa dan kesalahan kita, sehingga kita seharusnya dapat memaafkan juga sesama manusia, karena Allah sudah mengampuni kita. Agar hendaknya kita jangan tidak diampuni oleh Tuhan karena kita sudah diampuni.
DOA
Ya Tuhan Allah Maha Pengampun
Ampunilah dosa - dosaku
Aku akan mengampuni terhadap sesama
Sebab itulah perintah Mu Tuhan
Amen
ENGLISH
Mat 18:21 Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"
Mat 18:22 Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
Mat 18:25 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.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
Mat 18:27 Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Mat 18:28 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!'
Mat 18:29 So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.'
Mat 18:30 And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.
Mat 18:31 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.
Mat 18:32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.
Mat 18:33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
Mat 18:34 And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
Mat 18:35 So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses."
REFLECTION
In this Gospel reading, Lord Jesus instructs us to continually forgive our fellow brothers and sisters, even if necessary, up to seventy times seven times, not just seven times, but to always forgive those who have wronged us.
Because the Lord forgives all our sins and mistakes, we should also be able to forgive our fellow human beings, because God has forgiven us. So that we may not go unforgiven by the Lord because we have been forgiven.
PRAYER
O Lord God, Most Forgiving,
Forgive my sins
I will forgive others
For that is Your command, Lord
Amen
