26Then the slave threw himself to the ground and* began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’ 27So the master of that slave, because he* had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan. 28But that slave went out and* found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him,* saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’ 29Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and* began to implore* him, saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’ 30But he did not want to, but rather he went and* threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed. 31So when* his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and* reported to their master everything that had happened. 32Then his master summoned him and* said to him, ‘Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me! 33Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?’ 34And because he* was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailersi until he would repay everything that was owed. 35So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!”
