Matthew 18:28-35

28But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred 1denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe!’

29So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’

30But he was unwilling, 2and went and threw him in prison until he would pay back what was owed.

31So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their master all that had happened.

32Then summoning him, his master said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

333Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’

34And his master, moved with anger, handed him over to the 4torturers until he would repay all that was owed him.

355My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your 6heart.”
