  25. 25He couldn’t pay up, so the king ordered the man, along with his wife, children, and goods, to be auctioned off at the slave market. 26“The poor wretch threw himself at the king’s feet and begged, ‘Give me a chance and I’ll pay it all back.’ 27Touched by his plea, the king let him off, erasing the debt.

  26. 28“The servant was no sooner out of the room when he came upon one of his fellow servants who owed him ten rand. He seized him by the throat and demanded, ‘Pay up. Now!’ 29“The poor wretch threw himself down and begged, ‘Give me a chance and I’ll pay it all back.’

He had him arrested and put in jail until the debt was paid. 31When the other servants saw this going on, they were outraged and brought a detailed report to the king. 32“The king summoned the man and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave your entire debt when you begged me for mercy.

  28. 33Shouldn’t you be compelled to be merciful to your fellow servant who asked for mercy?’ 34The king was furious and put the screws to the man until he paid back his entire debt.
