Matthew 18:23-35

CLV(i) 23 Therefore likened was the kingdom of the heavens to a man, a king, who wants to settle accounts with his slaves." 24 Now, at his beginning to settle, one debtor was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents." 25 Now, at his not having wherewith to pay, the lord orders him to be disposed of, and his wife and children and all, whatever he has, and payment to be made." 26 Falling down, then, that slave worshiped him, saying, Lord, be patient with me, and I will pay you all!'" 27 Now, having compassion, the lord of that slave dismisses him, and remits his loan." 28 Yet, coming out, that slave found one of his fellow slaves, who owed him a hundred denarii, and, holding him, he choked him, saying, 'Pay, if you are owing anything!" 29 Falling down, then, his fellow slave entreated him, saying, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you all!'" 30 Yet he would not, but, coming away, he casts him into jail, till he may pay what he is owing." 31 Then his fellow slaves, perceiving what is occurring, were tremendously sorry, and coming, they elucidate to their lord all that is occurring." 32 Then his lord, calling him to him, is saying to him, 'Wicked slave! That entire debt I remit to you, since you entreat me." 33 Was it not binding on you also to be merciful to your fellow slave, as I also am merciful to you?'" 34 And, being indignant, his lord gives him up to the tormentors till he may pay all he is owing him." 35 Thus shall My heavenly Father also be doing to you, if each one should not be pardoning his brother, from your hearts."
