Matthew 18:28-35

28But that same slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began choking him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe!’

29So his fellow slave fell on his knees and begged him earnestly, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’

30But he was unwilling and he went and had him thrown in prison until he paid back the debt.

31When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and they went and reported to their master [with clarity and in detail] everything that had taken place.

32Then his master called him and said to him, ‘You wicked and contemptible slave, I forgave all that [great] debt of yours because you begged me.

33Should you not have had mercy on your fellow slave [who owed you little by comparison], as I had mercy on you?’

34And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (jailers) until he paid all that he owed.

35My heavenly Father will also do the same to [every one of] you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”
