Matthew 18:25-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

25. And because he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and his children and everything that he possessed, and payment to be made.

26. So the attendant fell on his knees, begging him, Have patience with me and I will pay you everything.

27. And his master's heart was moved with compassion, and he released him and forgave him [cancelling] the debt.

28. But that same attendant, as he went out, found one of his fellow attendants who owed him a hundred denarii [about twenty dollars]; and he caught him by the throat and said, Pay what you owe!

29. So his fellow attendant fell down and begged him earnestly, Give me time, and I will pay you all !

30. But he was unwilling, and he went out and had him put in prison till he should pay the debt.

31. When his fellow attendants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and told everything that had taken place to their master.
