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 servant was moved with compassion , and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28 But the same servant went out , and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat , saying , Pay me that thou owest .

29 And his fellowservant 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, till he should pay the debt .

31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done , they were very sorry , and came and told unto their lord all that was done .
