    24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.{Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day's wages for agricultural labor.}

    25 But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

    26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'

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

    28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii,{100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent.} and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'

    29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'

    30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.

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

    32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.

    33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'

    34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.

    35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
