    23The Parable of the Unforgiving Slave“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.

    24As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.

    25Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made.

    26Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying,‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’

    27The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt.

    28After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying,‘Pay back what you owe me!’

    29Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him,‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’

    30But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt.

    31When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place.

    32Then his lord called the first slave and said to him,‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me!

    33Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’

    34And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed.
