28 (NIV) ÒBut when thatservant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owedhim a hundred denarii [a few dol-lars]. He grabbed him andbegan to choke him. ÔPay back what you owe me!Õ he demanded.29 His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ÔBepatient with me, and I will pay you back.Õ 30 But he refused.Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison untilhe could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw whathad happened, they were greatly distressed and went andtold their master everything that had happened. 32 Then themaster called the servant in. ÔYou wicked servant,Õ he said,ÔI canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.33 Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servantjust as I had on you?Õ
