25 And because[a] he did not have enough[b] to repay it,[c] the master ordered him to be sold, and his[d] wife and his[e] children and everything that he had, and to be repaid. 26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground and[f] began to do obeisance to him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay back everything to you!’ 27 So the master of that slave, because he[g] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.
