    24And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.

    25But as he was not able to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.

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

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

    28But 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.

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

    30And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.

    31So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very sorry, and came and told their lord all that had been done.

    32Then his lord, after he had called him, said to him, O wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.

    33Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?

    34And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

    35So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you do not forgive from your hearts every one his brother their trespasses.
