Matthew 18:23-34

18:23

Therefore
<1223> <5124>

is the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

likened
<3666> (5681)

unto a certain
<444>

king
<935>_,

which
<3739>

would
<2309> (5656)

take
<4868> (5658)

account
<3056>

of
<3326>

his
<846>

servants
<1401>_.

18:24

And
<1161>

when he
<846>

had begun
<756> (5671)

to reckon
<4868> (5721)_,

one
<1520>

was brought
<4374> (5681)

unto him
<846>_,

which owed
<3781>

him
<846>

ten thousand
<3463>

talents
<5007>_.

{talents: a talent is seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, at a hundred and eleven cents the ounce}

18:25

But forasmuch as
<1161>

he
<846>

had
<2192> (5723)

not
<3361>

to pay
<591> (5629)_,

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

commanded
<2753> (5656)

him
<846>

to be sold
<4097> (5683)_,

and
<2532>

his
<846>

wife
<1135>_,

and
<2532>

children
<5043>_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

that
<3745>

he had
<2192> (5707)_,

and
<2532>

payment to be made
<591> (5683)_.

18:26

The servant
<1401>

therefore
<3767>

fell down
<4098> (5631)_,

and worshipped
<4352> (5707)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

have patience
<3114> (5657)

with
<1909>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

I will pay
<591> (5692)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>_.

{worshipped him: or, besought him}

18:27

Then
<1161>

the lord
<2962>

of that
<1565>

servant
<1401>

was moved with compassion
<4697> (5679)_,

and loosed
<630> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

forgave
<863> (5656)

him
<846>

the debt
<1156>_.

18:28

But
<1161>

the same
<1565>

servant
<1401>

went out
<1831> (5631)_,

and found
<2147> (5627)

one
<1520>

of his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>_,

which
<3739>

owed
<3784> (5707)

him
<846>

an hundred
<1540>

pence
<1220>_:

and
<2532>

he laid hands
<2902> (5660)

on him
<846>_,

and took [him] by the throat
<4155> (5707)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Pay
<591> (5628)

me
<3427>

that
<3748>

thou owest
<3784> (5719)_.

{pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}

18:29

And
<3767>

his
<846>

fellowservant
<4889>

fell down
<4098> (5631)

at
<1519>

his
<846>

feet
<4228>_,

and besought
<3870> (5707)

him
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Have patience
<3114> (5657)

with
<1909>

me
<1698>_,

and
<2532>

I will pay
<591> (5692)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>_.

18:30

And
<1161>

he would
<2309> (5707)

not
<3756>_:

but
<235>

went
<565> (5631)

and cast
<906> (5627)

him
<846>

into
<1519>

prison
<5438>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

the debt
<3784> (5746)_.

18:31

So
<1161>

when his
<846>

fellowservants
<4889>

saw
<1492> (5631)

what was done
<1096> (5637)_,

they were very
<4970>

sorry
<3076> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

came
<2064> (5631)

and told
<1285> (5656)

unto their
<846>

lord
<2962>

all
<3956>

that was done
<1096> (5637)_.

18:32

Then
<5119>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>_,

after that he had called
<4341> (5666)

him
<846>_,

said
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

O thou wicked
<4190>

servant
<1401>_,

I forgave
<863> (5656)

thee
<4671>

all
<3956>

that
<1565>

debt
<3782>_,

because
<1893>

thou desiredst
<3870> (5656)

me
<3165>_:

18:33

Shouldest
<1163> (5713)

not
<3756>

thou
<4571>

also
<2532>

have had compassion
<1653> (5658)

on thy
<4675>

fellowservant
<4889>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

I
<1473>

had pity
<1653> (5656)

on thee
<4571>_?

18:34

And
<2532>

his
<846>

lord
<2962>

was wroth
<3710> (5685)_,

and delivered
<3860> (5656)

him
<846>

to the tormentors
<930>_,

till
<2193> <3757>

he should pay
<591> (5632)

all
<3956>

that was due
<3784> (5746)

unto him
<846>_.
