his wife and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made.

18:26. But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

18:27. And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go
and forgave him the debt.

18:28. But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-
servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he
throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.

Pence... The Roman penny was the eighth part of an ounce, that is, about
sevenpence half-penny English.

18:29. And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have
patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

18:30. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid
the debt.

18:32. Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I
forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:

18:33. Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow

every one his brother from your hearts.
