27. As he appealed to mercy, he found mercy, and his Lord forgave him and set him free.
28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him an hundred pence, and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest: 29. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay thee all. 30. And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
28, &c. He that had received so much mercy, used his fellow servant with unmerciful rigour, exacting all his due.
31. So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their Lord all that was done. 32. Then his Lord after he had called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt because thou desiredst me. 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee.
