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 Then the lord of that slave was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt.

28 But as the same slave was leaving, he found one of his fellowslaves who owed him a hundred denarius, and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.

29 And his fellowslave fell down at his feet and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 And he would not, but went and cast him into prison until he should pay the debt.

31 So when his fellowslaves saw what was done, they were very grieved and came and declared unto their lord all that was done.
