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 And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.

28 But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

29 So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.

30 And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

31 So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.
