The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:23-34): "Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt." - from: Christ's Object Lessons, by Ellen G. White, 1900.

مثل العبد القاسي (متى 18: 23-34): "لذلك يشبه ملكوت السماوات إنسانا ملكا أراد أن يحاسب عبيده. فلما ابتدأ في المحاسبة قدم إليه واحد مديون بعشرة آلاف وزنة. وإذ لم يكن له ما يوفي أمر سيده أن يباع هو وامرأته وأولاده وكل ما له، ويوفي الدين. فخر العبد وسجد له قائلا: يا سيد، تمهل علي فأوفيك الجميع. فتحنن سيد ذلك العبد وأطلقه، وترك له الدين." - من كتاب دروس المسيح الموضوعية، إلين ج. وايت، 1900 م.
