  • PER203 Discipline in the Church and forgiveness

    Pericope 203 presents Jesus’ teaching on church discipline and forgiveness, at Capernaum in September AD 32. Matthew 18.15-22 and Luke 17.3-4 develop brotherly correction, the authority of the Church, communal prayer and unlimited forgiveness (seventy times seven). These themes form the foundation of a Christian ethic of relationships centered on reconciliation and divine mercy.

    Matthew 18.21-22 (King James Version) :
    Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

  • PER204 Parable of the king and the servant

    The parable of the king and the servant (Mt 18.23-35), told in Capernaum in September 32, is unique to Matthew. It illustrates the vital importance of forgiveness by contrasting an immense debt of 10,000 talents cancelled by a merciful king with a small debt of 100 coins refused by the forgiven servant. The central teaching: those whom God forgives must in turn forgive, or they will lose the grace they received.

    Matthew 18.21-22 (King James Version) :
    Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

  • PER248 Instruction on stumbling blocks, forgiveness and faith

    This article examines Jesus’ teachings on stumbling blocks, forgiveness and faith in Luke 17.1-6. Jesus urges the disciples to avoid causing spiritual falls and to forgive without limit. This instruction highlights communal responsibility and the disciples’ commitment to the kingdom of heaven.

    Luke 17.1-6 (King James Version) :
    Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
