The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

32 Then his master summoned him and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33 i And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?' 34 j And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, 1 k until he should pay all his debt.
