That is
why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle
accounts with his servants. When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought
before him who owed him a huge amount. Since he had no way of paying it back, his
master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his
property, in payment of the debt.
At that,
the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will
pay you back in full.’ Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him
go and forgave him the loan.
When that
servant had left, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a much
smaller amount. He seized him and started to choke him, demanding, ‘Pay back
what you owe.’ Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient
with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he refused. Instead, he had the fellow
servant put in prison until he paid back the debt.
Now when
his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went
to their master and reported the whole affair. His master summoned him and said
to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged
me to. Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on
you?’ Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should
pay back the whole debt.
So will
my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his
heart.”
When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.
