23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants.
24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
25But forasmuch as he had not [wherewith] to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest.
29So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.
