settle accounts with his servants. {24} "And when he had begun
to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten
thousand talents. {25} "But as he was not able to pay, his
master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children
and all that he had, and that payment be made. {26} "The
servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have
patience with me, and I will pay you all.' {27} "Then the
master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him,
and forgave him the debt. {28} "But that servant went out and
found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred
denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat,
saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' {29} "So his fellow servant fell
down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with
me, and I will pay you all.' {30} "And he would not, but went
and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. {31} "So
when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very
grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.
{32} "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him,
'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you
begged me. {33} 'Should you not also have had compassion on
your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' {34} "And his
master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he
should pay all that was due to him. {35} "So My heavenly Father
also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not
forgive his brother his trespasses."
