11082016 Gospel Mt 18:21-19:1

Peter approached Jesus and asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.

That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt.

At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan.

When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison until he paid back the debt.

Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt.

So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”

When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.

Repleksiyon:

Ubay-ubay gajud karajaw an nautang nan ini na trabahador sa ija agalon kay nagpusrsige man gajud sija magpa-bajad nan ija utang.

Pero sa ija pangamujo, tagpasaylo sija nan ija agalon kay lagi malu-ujon man ini na agalon bisan dako gajud na kantidad an nautang nan ini na  suluguon.

Pero nakita nato dinhi sa susambingay na nan ija ingkahibalag an ija kaparehas ra ‘sab na suluguon na nakautang dija nan gamay ra na kantindad, waya gajud nija ini pasayloa hangtud na nahipa-balhog pa ini nija sa prisohan.

Uno man an leksiyon na gusto ipaabot ni Jesus dinhi sa ija susambingay?

An pagpasaylo sa mga tawo na nakasaya dato, kinahanglan gajud na tinood sanan kinasing-kasing gajud sanan abir kon higan’o ka dako an kasay’anan nan tawo batok dato, an tinood na pasaylo an kinahangalan na ato ipadangat dija.

Andam ba kita na modawat na leksiyon na tagpandangat ni Jesus dato – an tinood na pagpasaylo sa ato isigkatawo?
