Note: The Jewish religious leaders taught that Jews should forgive those who offend them up to three times; they need not forgive a fourth offense. Peter, thinking he was being extremely generous, asked Jesus whether forgiving someone seven times was enough.
摘記:猶太人的宗教領袖教導猶太人應該饒恕那些得罪他們的人到三次;他們無須饒恕到第四次。彼得想他已經非常的大方,就問耶穌饒恕他人的過犯七次是否足夠。

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, if my brother keeps on sinning against me, how many times do I have to forgive him? Seven times?" 22 "No, not seven times," answered Jesus, "but seventy times seven, 23 because the Kingdom of heaven is like this. Once there was a king who decided to check on his servants' accounts. 24 He had just begun to do so when one of them was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. 25 The servant did not have enough to pay his debt, so the king ordered him to be sold as a slave, with his wife and his children and all that he had, in order to pay the debt. 26 The servant fell on his knees before the king. "Be patient with me,' he begged, "and I will pay you everything!' 27 The king felt sorry for him, so he forgave him the debt and let him go. 28 "Then the man went out and met one of his fellow servants who owed him a few dollars. He grabbed him and started choking him. "Pay back what you owe me!' he said. 29 His fellow servant fell down and begged him, "Be patient with me, and I will pay you back!' 30 But he refused; instead, he had him thrown into jail until he should pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were very upset and went to the king and told him everything. 32 So he called the servant in. "You worthless slave!' he said. "I forgave you the whole amount you owed me, just because you asked me to. 33 You should have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you.' 34 The king was very angry, and he sent the servant to jail to be punished until he should pay back the whole amount." 35 And Jesus concluded, "That is how my Father in heaven will treat every one of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."

Note: In ancient times, Jewish landowners used to divide their wealth into three parts. One part was used for their business, one part was put into the band to earn interest and one part was buried in a secret place in a field. Sometimes workmen in the fields would come upon such a long forgotten treasure by accident. Hiding the discovery, they would try to buy the whole field in order to obtain the treasure. Jesus was probably referring to this custom.
摘記:在古時,猶太人的土地所有者慣常將他們的財寶分為三等份,一份用在生意上,一份放在銀行生息,而另一份則藏在田地的一個秘密地方。有時候在田地上工作的工人會無意間發現了長久已被遺忘的財寶,他們會將所發現的藏起來,然後盡可能的買下整塊田地來獲得那份財寶,耶穌可能是提到這個風俗。

He covers it up again, and is so happy that he goes and sells everything he has, and then goes back and buys that field. 45 "Also, the Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man is looking for fine pearls, 46 and when he finds one that is unusually fine, he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that pearl.
