Matthew 18:23–34

²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.

²⁴And when he had begun to take the account, one as brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.

²⁵And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

²⁶But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

²⁷And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.

²⁸But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.

²⁹And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.

³¹Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done.

³²Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

³³Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?

³⁴And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
