Matthew 18:30-35 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

30. “But the first servant refused to be patient. He told the judge that the other servant owed him money, and that servant was put in jail until he could pay everything he owed.

31. All the other servants saw what happened. They felt very sorry for the man. So they went and told their master everything that happened.

32. “Then the master called his servant in and said, ‘You evil servant. You begged me to forgive your debt, and I said you did not have to pay anything!

33. So you should have given that other man who serves with you the same mercy I gave you.’

34. The master was very angry, so he put the servant in jail to be punished. And he had to stay in jail until he could pay everything he owed.

35. “This king did the same as my heavenly Father will do to you. You must forgive your brother or sister with all your heart, or my heavenly Father will not forgive you.”
