Matthew 18:28-35

28But that slaveG1401 wentG1831 outG1831 and foundG2147 oneG1520 of his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 whoG3739 owedG3784 him a hundredG1540 1denariiG1220; and he seizedG2902 him and began to chokeG4155 him, sayingG3004, ‘PayG591 backG591 whatG5101 you oweG3784!’

29SoG3767 his fellowG4889 slaveG4889 fellG4098 to the ground and began to pleadG3870 with him, sayingG3004, ‘HaveG3114 patienceG3114 with me and I will repayG591 you.’

30But he was unwillingG3756G2309, 2and wentG565 and threwG906 him in prisonG5438 untilG2193 he would payG591 backG591 whatG3588 was owedG3784.

31SoG3767 when his fellowG4889 slavesG4889 sawG3708 whatG3588 had happenedG1096, they were deeplyG4970 grievedG3076 and cameG2064 and reportedG1285 to their masterG2962 allG3956 that had happenedG1096.

32ThenG5119 summoningG4341 him, his masterG2962 saidG3004 to him, ‘You wickedG4190 slaveG1401, I forgaveG863 you allG3956 that debtG3782 becauseG1893 you pleadedG3870 with me.

333ShouldG1163 you not alsoG2532 have hadG1653 mercyG1653 on your fellowG4889 slaveG4889, in the sameG5613 wayG5613 that I hadG1653 mercyG1653 on you?’

34And his masterG2962, movedG3710 withG3710 angerG3710, handedG3860 him overG3860 to the 4torturersG930 untilG2193 he would repayG591 allG3956 that was owedG3784 him.

355My heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 doG4160 the sameG3779 to you, ifG1437 eachG1538 of you does not forgiveG863 his brotherG80 from your 6heartG2588.”
