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 And out of pity for him the lord of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.

28 But that same servant, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat he said, 'Pay what you owe.'

29 So his fellow servant fell down and besought him, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you.'

30 He refused and went and put him in prison till he should pay the debt.

31 When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place.
