23 "For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man—a king—who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.
24 And when* he began to settle them,* someone was brought to him who owed ten thousand talents.
25 And because* he did not have enough* to repay it,* the master ordered him to be sold, and his* wife and his* children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.
26 Then 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!'
27 So the master of that slave, because he* had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
28 But 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!'
29 Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and* began to implore* him, saying, 'Be patient with me and I will repay you!'
30 But he did not want to, but rather he went and* threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.
31 So when* his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and* reported to their master everything that had happened.
32 Then his master summoned him and* said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!
33 Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?'
34 And because he* was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers* until he would repay everything that was owed.
