Matthew 18:23-27
23“Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished ato settle accounts with his servants. ▼▼Greek bondservants; also verses 28, 31
24When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him cten thousand dtalents. ▼▼A talent was a monetary unit worth about twenty years’ wages for a laborer
25 fAnd since he could not pay, his master ordered him gto be sold, with his wife and hchildren and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26So the servant ▼▼Greek bondservant; also verses 27, 28, 29, 32, 33
jfell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ 27And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and kforgave him the debt.
