Living_Oracles(i)
23 In this the Administration of Heaven resembles a king, who determined to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Having begun to reckon, one was brought, who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But that servant not having the means to pay; his master, to obtain payment, commanded that he, and his wife and children, and all that he had should be sold.
26 Then the servant, throwing himself prostrate before his master, cried, Have patience with me, my lord, and I will pay the whole.
27 And his master had compassion upon him, and dismissed him, remitting the debt.
28 But this servant, as he went out, meeting one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred denarii, seized him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.
29 His fellow-servant, falling down, besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you.
30 And he would not, but instantly caused him to be imprisoned, until he should discharge the debt.
31 His fellow-servants seeing this, were deeply affected, and went, and informed their master of all that had passed.
32 Then his master, having given orders to call him, said to him, You wicked servant: all that debt I forgave you, because you besought me.
33 Ought not you to have shown such pity to your fellow-servant, as I showed to you?
34 So his master, being provoked, delivered him to the jailors, to remain in their hands until he should clear the debt.
35 Thus will my heavenly Father treat every one of you, who forgives not, from his heart, his brother.
