God's Word Translation

Matthew 18:22-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

22. Jesus answered him, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy times seven.

23. “That is why the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

24. When he began to do this, a servant who owed him millions of dollars was brought to him.

25. Because he could not pay off the debt, the master ordered him, his wife, his children, and all that he had to be sold to pay off the account.

26. Then the servant fell at his master’s feet and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay everything!’

27. “The master felt sorry for his servant, freed him, and canceled his debt.

28. But when that servant went away, he found a servant who owed him hundreds of dollars. He grabbed the servant he found and began to choke him. ‘Pay what you owe!’ he said.
