Matthew 18 : 23 - 34
Chapter 18
23 | Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. |
24 | And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. |
25 | 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. |
26 | The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, "Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' |
27 | Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. |
28 | "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, "Pay me what you owe!' |
29 | So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, "Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' |
30 | And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. |
31 | So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. |
32 | Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, "You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. |
33 | Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' |
34 | And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. |
