    23Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

    24As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him.

    25Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

    26At this the servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.'

    27The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt, and let him go.

    28But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He seized him and began to choke him, saying, 'Pay back what you owe me!'

    29His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will repay you.'

    30But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

    31When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

    32Then the master summoned the servant and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me to.'
