Matthew 18:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
28 But when the servant was departed, he found one of his fellow servants which ought him an hundred pence, and he laid hands on him, and throttled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
