HEREFORE is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

2 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

3 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and chidren, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

4 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

5 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

6 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
