"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.
32
Then the master summoned his servant and said, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt just because you begged me to do it.
33
Shouldn't you have had pity on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
34
And in anger his master turned him over to the jailers for punishment until he paid back everything he owed.
35
This is how my heavenly Father will treat you, unless you each forgive your brother from your hearts."
