“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.
“The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’
“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.
“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Jesus was preaching to his disciples about being merciful to his brothers and sisters as God had forgiven their sins no matter how big they are. Jesus said to Simon Peter not only 7 times that he must forgive a person but seventy times seven because if he does not forgive he will lose treasure in heaven. The Father in heaven will treat him like the way he treated others.
In this generation people do not know how to forgive even when they hear and learn the word “to forgive one another” specially your enemy. People are more concern on how much damage they can give to one another just to justify themselves. It is hard for them to forgive because they always think that they will always sin and they should be punished. He does not care for the person who is sinning because he is not the one that he is being punished he only cares for himself but when the time comes that he himself sin he ask for forgiveness and when he finds out that his sin is not forgiven he will realize what the other person must have felt when he did not forgive him. So therefore we must always forgive so we are also be forgiven by God. Do not concern yourself about being justified whether who sin the most or how much justification we can give ourselves but concern yourself whether if you will be forgiven also if you ask for forgiveness.
Jesus teach that...
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. Matthew 7:1
"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)
“If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
“I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will bed bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will bee loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:15-18
What does the meaning “Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”?
It means that Jesus and God can forgive but the Holy Spirit that resides a person heart like the deciples of God cannot forgive. These are the gifts of the Holy Spirit that Jesus gave to his disciples.
What is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is your guide into all truth. He speak what he hears and disclose to you what is to come.

When Jesus ascended to heaven he gave the Holy Spirit to his disciples it is written in John 20:22-23 Jesus said…
"Receive the Holy Spirit. "If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."
For Example: Acts 5 the sin of Ananias and Sapphira
Simone Peter finds out that Ananias and Sapphira lied about the money and did not ask to be forgiven and for this reason they are sinning against the Holy Spirit that they receive once they were Baptist with water. The Holy Spirit killed their souls.
"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (matthew 10:28)

Joseph Father's instruction
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.
His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.
But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. (Genesis 50:15-21)
