26So the servant10 gfell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and dforgave him the debt. 28But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred hdenarii,11 and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ 29So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33iAnd should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34jAnd in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,12 kuntil he should pay all his debt. 35lSo also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother mfrom your heart.”
