Mace(i)
23 In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account.
24 when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him indebted the sum of ten thousand talents.
25 but being insolvent, his lord gave orders that he, with his wife, and children, and all that he had, should be sold for payment.
26 the servant therefore fell prostrate before him, and cry'd out, Lord, allow me but time and I will pay the whole.
27 upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt.
28 but this very servant presently after met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him an hundred pence: and violently seizing him, said, pay me the debt.
29 and his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and embraced him, saying, allow me time, and I will pay thee all.
30 which he would not allow: but immediately threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 his fellow-servants upon seeing this were very much concern'd, and went to acquaint their master with what had pass'd.
32 then his lord order'd him to be call'd, and said to him, O thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all thy debt, upon your request:
33 should not you then have had the like compassion for thy fellow servant as I had for thee?
34 so that his lord in great displeasure delivered him to the jayler till he should pay the whole debt.
35 in the same manner will my heavenly father likewise treat you, if ye do not sincerely forgive every one the trespasses of his brother.
