Mateo 18:32 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 18:32

Then his Lord, after that he had called him
Or ordered him to be called, and brought before him,

said unto him, O thou wicked servant!
Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads, "thou servant of Belial"; thou cruel and hard hearted man to thy fellow servant, and ungrateful creature to me, on whom my goodness to thee has not made any impression, nor taken any effect:

I forgave thee all that debt:
all that vast debt of ten thousand talents, and that freely:

because thou desiredst me:
not to forgive the debt, but to have patience, and give time, and therefore unasked forgave the whole sum, every farthing of it; which was such an instance of pure goodness, as was enough to have wrought upon an heart of stone, and engaged the most tender concern and pity for a fellow creature, as well as filled with thankfulness to the kind benefactor. The favour so lately bestowed on him is justly observed as an aggravation of his wickedness.

Mateo 18:32 In-Context

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.

33 "¿No deberías tú también haberte compadecido de tu consiervo, así como yo me compadecí de ti?"

34 Y enfurecido su señor, lo entregó a los verdugos hasta que pagara todo lo que le debía.
