ng to settle, a debtor of ten thousand talents [$10,000,000] was
brought to him. [18:25]And he having nothing to pay, the lord commanded
him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and
payment to be made. [18:26]Then the servant fell down and worshipped
him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay all. [18:27]And the
lord of that servant having compassion on him released him, and forgave
him the debt.

6 [18:28]But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants
who owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him,
saying, Pay what you owe me. [18:29]Then his fellow-servant fell down
and besought him, saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you.
[18:30]But he would not; but went and cast him into prison till he
should pay the debt. [18:31]Then his fellow-servants seeing what was
done, were greatly displeased, and went and related to their lord all
things that were done. [18:32]Then his lord called him, and said to
him, Evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you besought me
[to do it]. [18:33]Ought you not also to pity your fellow-servant, as I
pitied you? [18:34]And his lord was displeased, and delivered him to
the tormentors till he should pay all the debt. [18:35]So also will my
heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not each one his brother from
your hearts.

Galilee, and came into the bounds of Judea beyond the Jordan; [19:2]and
great multitudes followed him, and he cured them there. [19:3]And the
Pharisees came to him to try him, and said, Is it lawful [for a man] to
put away his wife for every cause? [19:4]And he answered and said,
Have you not read that the Creator at the beginning made them male and
female? [19:5]and he said, On this account shall a man leave his father
and mother, and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
[19:6]So that they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God
has yoked together, let not man separate.

2 [19:7]They said to him, Why then did Moses command us to give a bill
of divorcement, and put her away? [19:8]He said to them, Moses, on
account of your hardness of heart, allowed you to put away your wives;
but from the beginning it was not so. [19:9]And I tell you, that
whoever puts away his wife, except for adultery, and marries another,
