A SERMON OF D. MARTIN LVTHER, CONCERNING FREE REMISSION OF SINNES TO THE CONTRITE AND BROKEN IN hart, and terrible iudgement to the indurate and obstinate.
Matth. 18. Verse 23. Jesus said unto Peter & to the rest of the Disciples: The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain King, which would take an account of his servants. 24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25. And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, & his children, and all that he had, and the debt to be payed. 26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped ⟨p. 419⟩him saying: Lord refrain thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all. 27. Then that servants Lord had compassion, & loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28. But the same servant went out, & found one of his fellow servants, which owed him an hundred pence, and he laid hands on him, and throttled him, saying: Pay me that thou owest. 29. Then his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying: Refrain thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all. 30. Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. And when his other fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came, and declared unto their Lord all that was done. 32. Then his Lord called him unto him, and said to him: O evil servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou prayedst me. 33. Oughtest not thou also to have had pity on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? 34. So his Lord was wrath, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him. 35. So likewise shall mine heavenly Father do unto you, except ye forgive from your hearts, each one to his brother their trespasses.
