23. Therefore, the Malchut HaShomayim is like a melech, a king, who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24. And having begun to settle accounts, a debtor owing ten thousand talents was brought to the melech.
25. And, as this debtor did not have the means to pay what was owed his adon, the king commanded that he and his wife and children and everything he possessed be sold and the debt repaid.
26. Therefore, crying out for rachamim (mercy) and falling down before him, the servant said, Have zitzfleisch (patience) with me and I will pay back to you everything!
27. And out of rachamanut (compassion), the adon of that servant pardoned him and forgave the choiv (debt).
28. Then the debtor went out and found one of the other fellow servants who happened to owe the debtor one hundred denarii. And seizing and choking the servant, the debtor said, Repay what you owe me!
29. And, falling down, the servant said to the debtor, Have zitzfleisch (patience) with me and I will repay you.
30. But the debtor was not willing. Then the debtor went and threw the servant into the beit hasohar (prison) until he should repay the debt.
31. Therefore, when the man's fellow servants saw what had taken place, great was their agmat nefesh (grief), and they went and reported to their adon all that had taken place.
32. Then having summoned the debtor, his adon said to him, Wicked servant, all that choiv (debt) I forgave you, because you begged me.
33. Was it not necessary also for you to have rachamim (mercy) upon your fellow servant?
