New Testament

Matthew 18:28-35 Modern English Version (MEV)

28. “But that same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe.’

29. “So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and entreated him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’

30. “But he would not and went and threw him in prison until he should pay the debt.

31. So when his fellow servants saw what took place, they were very sorry and went and told their master all that had taken place.

32. “Then his master, after he had summoned him, said to him, ‘O you wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

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

34. His master was angry and delivered him to the jailers until he should pay all his debt.

35. “So also My heavenly Father will do to each of you, if from your heart you do not forgive your brother for his trespasses.”
