Matthew 18:23-33

Weymouth New Testament WNT

23 "For this reason the Kingdom of the Heavens may be compared to a king who determined to have a settlement of accounts with his servants.

24 But as soon as he began the settlement, one was brought before him who owed 10,000 talents,

25 and was unable to pay. So his master ordered that he and his wife and children and everything that he had should be sold, and payment be made.

26 The servant therefore falling down, prostrated himself at his feet and entreated him. "`Only give me time,' he said, `and I will pay you the whole.'

27 "Whereupon his master, touched with compassion, set him free and forgave him the debt.

28 But no sooner had that servant gone out, than he met with one of his fellow servants who owed him 100 shillings; and seizing him by the throat and nearly strangling him he exclaimed, "`Pay me all you owe.'

29 "His fellow servant therefore fell at his feet and entreated him, "`Only give me time,' he said, `and I will pay you.'

30 "He would not, however, but went and threw him into prison until he should pay what was due.

31 His fellow servants, therefore, seeing what had happened, were exceedingly angry; and they came and told their master without reserve all that had happened.

32 At once his master called him and said, "`Wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you entreated me:

33 ought not you also to have had pity on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'

New International Version NIV

23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of goldwas brought to him.

25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’

27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.

32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.

33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’
