New Testament

Matthew 18:25-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

25. And because he did not have enough to repay it, the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

26. Then the slave threw himself to the ground and began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’

27. So the master of that slave, because he had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

28. But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’

29. Then his fellow slave threw himself to the ground and began to implore him, saying, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’

30. But he did not want to, but rather he went and threw him into prison until he would repay what was owed.
