²³ "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to collect all the money his servants owed him. ²⁴ As the king began to do it, a man who owed him millions of dollars was brought to him. ²⁵ The man was not able to pay. So his master gave an order. The man, his wife, his children, and all he owned had to be sold to pay back what he owed. ²⁶ "The servant fell on his knees in front of him. 'Give me time,' he begged. 'I'll pay everything back.' ²⁷ "His master felt sorry for him. He forgave him what he owed and let him go. ²⁸ "But then that servant went out and found one of the other servants who owed him a few dollars. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he said. ²⁹ "The other servant fell on his knees. 'Give me time,' he begged him. 'I'll pay you back.' ³⁰ "But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and had the man thrown into prison. The man would be held there until he could pay back what he owed. ³¹ The other servants saw what had happened. It troubled them greatly. They went and told their master everything that had happened. ³² "Then the master called the first servant in. 'You evil servant,' he said. 'I forgave all that you owed me because you begged me to. ³³ Shouldn't you have had mercy on the other servant just as I had mercy on you?' ³⁴ In anger his master turned him over to the jailers. He would be punished until he paid back everything he owed.
