Matthew 18:28-35

28But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred kdenarii,
A  denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’
29So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ 30He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. 31When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. 32Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 mAnd should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ 34 nAnd in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,
Greek torturers
puntil he should pay all his debt.
35 qSo also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother rfrom your heart.”
