The first parable begins with Peter asking how many times it is
necessary to forgive someone who sins against us. Jesus tells a
parable about a servant who is forgiven a large sum by his master.
This same servant chokes and then imprisons a fellow servant who
owed him a modest sum. Others saw this and informed the master, who
then threw this unforgiving servant into prison. The point: We are
to forgive others their trespasses against us, and without
limit.
Second: there is a widow who has been wronged and repeatedly seeks
justice, but the judge ignores her. Finally, after the widow
continues to press the issue, the unjust judge gives the widow her
request. The point: We are to pray and God will give us justice.
This continually praying is a sign of faith.
