Matthew 18:23-27
23“For this reason 1the kingdom of heaven 2may be compared to a king who wished to 3settle accounts with his slaves.
24When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him 4ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25But since he 56did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him 7to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.
26So the slave fell to the ground and 8prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’
27And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and 9forgave him the 10debt.
