23 "For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants. 24 But as soon as he began the settlement, one was brought before him who owed 10,000 talents, 25 and was unable to pay. So his master ordered that he and his wife and children and everything that he had should be sold, and payment be made. 26 The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. "'Only give me time,' he said, 'and I will pay you the whole.' 27 "Whereupon his master, touched with compassion, set him free and forgave him the debt. Matthew 18:23-27, Weymouth New Testament.
