Matthew 18:23-35

ECB(i) 23 So the sovereigndom of the heavens is likened to a human sovereign, who wills to reckon word of his servants: 24 and he begins to reckon; they bring him a debtor of a myriad talent weights. 25 and having naught to give, his adoni summons to sell him and his woman and children, and all - as much as he has and to give back. 26 So the servant falls and worships him, wording, Adoni, have patience with me and I give you all. 27 And the adoni of that servant has a sympathetic spleen, and releases him, and forgives his debt. 28 But the same servant goes and finds one of his co-servants who is indebted a hundred denarion: and he overpowers him and strangles him, wording, Give me your debt. 29 And his co-servant falls to his feet, and beseeches him, wording, Have patience with me and I give you all. 30 And he wills not: but goes and casts him into a guardhouse until he gives the debt. 31 So when his co-servants see what became, they are extremely sorrowed, and come and tell their adoni all that became. 32 Then his adoni, after he calls him, words to him, O you evil servant, I forgave you all that debt because you besought me: 33 Ought you not also mercy your co-servant even as I mercied you? 34 - and his adoni is wroth and delivers him to the torturers, until he gives all he is indebted. 35 Thus likewise my Father in the heavenlies does also to you unless from your hearts you each forgive your brother his backslidings.
