Mateo 18:30

30 Sin embargo, él no quiso, sino que fue y lo echó en la cárcel hasta que pagara lo que debía.

Mateo 18:30 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 18:30

And he would not
Have patience with him, give him time for payment, and forbear severity at present, as he requested:

but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt;
had him before a proper officer, and proved his debt, and got him sent to jail, there to lie till the whole debt was paid; which, as it discovered ill nature, severe usage, so, great ignorance and stupidity; for a prison will pay no debt: which sets forth the rigorous proceedings of some church members against their brethren, that have displeased them; who immediately bring the matter before the church, and will not be easy unless some censure is laid upon them, or they are cast out, until full satisfaction is given them, whereby oftentimes an useful member of a church is lost.

Mateo 18:30 In-Context

28 Pero al salir aquel siervo, encontró a uno de sus consiervos que le debía cien denarios , y echándole mano, lo ahogaba, diciendo: "Paga lo que debes."
29 Entonces su consiervo, cayendo a sus pies, le suplicaba, diciendo: "Ten paciencia conmigo y te pagaré."
30 Sin embargo, él no quiso, sino que fue y lo echó en la cárcel hasta que pagara lo que debía.
31 Así que cuando vieron sus consiervos lo que había pasado, se entristecieron mucho, y fueron y contaron a su señor todo lo que había sucedido.
32 Entonces, llamándolo su señor, le dijo<***>: "Siervo malvado, te perdoné toda aquella deuda porque me suplicaste.
