Another Parable of Jesus
It's hard to know how strange Jesus' parables would be if Matthew, Mark, and Luke had kept their sensible hands off them - Matthew particularly. But, I imagine something like what follows. The situation: Peter is being all pious about forgiveness. The Law says to forgive three times or, maybe, four; he suggests seven. Jesus shakes his head and tells the parable, which may have something to do with what Peter has said, or not. It may have something to do with his piousness, or . . . yes, it does. And ours. I think.
