26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground and[a] 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[b] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan. 28 But that slave went out and[c] found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii, and taking hold of him, he began to choke him,[d] saying, ‘Pay back everything that you owe!’
