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 "The master felt sorry for his servant, freed him, and canceled his debt.

28 But when that servant went away, he found a servant who owed him hundreds of dollars. He grabbed the servant he found and began to choke him. 'Pay what you owe!' he said.

29 "Then that other servant fell at his feet and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will repay you.'

30 But he refused. Instead, he turned away and had that servant put into prison until he would repay what he owed.

31 "The other servants who worked with him saw what had happened and felt very sad. They told their master the whole story.
