Mateus 18:30 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 18:30

Mateus 18:30 In-Context

28 “Mas, quando aquele servo saiu, encontrou um de seus conservos, que lhe devia cem denários. Agarrou-o e começou a sufocá-lo, dizendo: ‘Pague-me o que me deve!’

29 “Então o seu conservo caiu de joelhos e implorou-lhe: ‘Tenha paciência comigo, e eu pagarei a você’.

30 “Mas ele não quis. Antes, saiu e mandou lançá-lo na prisão, até que pagasse a dívida.

31 Quando os outros servos, companheiros dele, viram o que havia acontecido, ficaram muito tristes e foram contar ao seu senhor tudo o que havia acontecido.

32 “Então o senhor chamou o servo e disse: ‘Servo mau, cancelei toda a sua dívida porque você me implorou.
