29 His fellow servant fell before him and begged, `Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

Matthew 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 18:29

And his fellow servant fell down at his feet
In the most humble and submissive manner, just as he himself had done a little before at the feet of his Lord:

and besought him, saying, have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all;
using the very same words, in which he had expressed himself to his Lord, and had succeeded.

Matthew 18:29 In-Context

27 So out of pity for him, the master let him go and forgave the debt.

28 "But as that servant was leaving, he came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him some tiny sum. He grabbed him and began to choke him, crying, `Pay back what you owe me!'

29 His fellow servant fell before him and begged, `Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.'

30 But he refused; instead, he had him thrown in jail until he should repay the debt.

31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed; and they went and told their master every thing that had taken place.
