    28 But that same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred pence; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what you owe.

    29 And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
