Matthew 18:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And because he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the debt to be paid.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and [a]worshipped him, saying, Lord, [b]refrain thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then that servant’s lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
