Matthew 18:24-35 ▼

24 And on his having begun to settle, one was brought to him, a debtor of ten thousand talents.

25 And on his having nothing to repay, the master commanded him to be sold—and the wife and the children and all of whatever he had—and repayment to be made.

26 Therefore the servant, having fallen down, was bowing on his knees to him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay all to you.’

27 And having been moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.

28 But having gone out, that servant found one of his fellow servants who was owing him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he was choking him, saying, ‘Repay what you owe!’

29 Therefore, having fallen down, his fellow servant was calling on him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you.’

30 But he was not willing. Rather, having gone, he cast him into prison until he should repay what was owed.

31 Therefore his fellow servants, having seen the things having happened, were deeply grieved, and having gone, they made clear to their master all the things having happened.

32 Then, having summoned him, his master says to him, ‘Evil servant! I forgave you all that debt because you called on me.

33 Was it not necessary for you also to have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I also had mercy on you?’

34 And having become angry, his master delivered him to the tormenters until he should repay everything being owed to him.

35 Thus also My heavenly Father will do to you? unless each of you? should forgive his brother from your? hearts.”
