New Testament

Matthew 18:29-35 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

31. So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went and reported to their master everything that had happened.

32. Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

33. Should you not also have shown mercy to your fellow slave as I also showed mercy to you?’

34. And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.

35. So also my heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your hearts!”
