23 In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account. 24 when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him indebted the sum of ten thousand talents. 25 but being insolvent, his lord gave orders that he, with his wife, and children, and all that he had, should be sold for payment. 26 the servant therefore fell prostrate before him, and cry'd out, Lord, allow me but time and I will pay the whole. 27 upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt. Matthew 18:23-27, Mace New Testament. Public domain.
