Matteus 18,30

Forgiving others

28 Men da den tjeneren gikk ut, fant han en av sine medtjenere som skyldte ham hundre denarer. Han grep ham og begynte å kvele ham. 'Betal tilbake det du skylder meg!' krevde han.

29 Hans medtjener falt på kne og ba ham, 'Vær så snill å være tålmodig med meg, så skal jeg betale det.'

Men han nektet. I stedet gikk han bort og fikk mannen kastet i fengsel til han kunne betale gjelden.

31 Da de andre tjenerne så hva som hadde skjedd, ble de opprørte og gikk og informerte herren om alt som hadde skjedd.

32 Da kalte herren tjeneren inn. 'Du onde tjener,' sa han, 'jeg etterga all din gjeld fordi du ba meg.
