Matthew 18:33

The Unforgiving Servant

32Then the master summoned him and declared, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave all your debt because you begged me.33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had on you?’34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should repay all that he owed.
