Matthew 18:29

18:29 Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ¹  ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’

Matthew 18:33

18:33 Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’

Matthew 24:49

24:49 and he begins to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with drunkards,

Matthew 18:31

18:31 When ²  his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place.

Matthew 18:28

18:28 After ³  he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. ⁴  So ⁵  he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, ⁶  saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ ⁷ 

¹ tn Grk “begged him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

² tn Grk “Therefore when.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁴ tn Grk “one hundred denarii.” The denarius was a silver coin worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be about three month’s pay.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so.” A new sentence was started at this point in the translation in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

⁶ tn Grk “and he grabbed him and started choking him.”

⁷ tn The word “me” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
