²³¶ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

²⁵But forasmuch as he had not 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.

²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

²⁸But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

³²Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

²⁶The seruant therfore fell downe, and ^‖worshipped him, saying, Lord, haue patience with mee, and I will pay thee all.

²⁷Then the Lord of that seruant was moued with compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the debt.

²⁸But the same seruant went out, and found one of his fellow-seruants, which ought him an hundred ^†pence: and hee layd handes on him, and tooke him by the throte, saying, Pay mee that thou owest.

²⁹And his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Haue patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till hee should pay the debt.

³¹So when his fellow-seruants saw what was done, they were very sorie, and came, and told vnto their lord all that was done.

³²Then his lord, after that hee had called him, said vnto him, O thou wicked seruant, I forgaue thee all that debt because thou desiredst me:

³³Shouldest not thou also haue had compassion on thy fellow-seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

³⁴And his lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentors, till hee should pay all that was due vnto him.

³⁵So likewise shall my heauenly Father doe also vnto you, if yee from your hearts forgiue not euery one his brother their trespasses.
