Mateus 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.

Mateus 18:32 In-Context

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.
33 Você não devia ter tido misericórdia do seu conservo como eu tive de você?’
34 Irado, seu senhor entregou-o aos torturadores, até que pagasse tudo o que devia.
