    26The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

    27And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.

    28But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.

    29So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

    30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due.

    31So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

    33shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
