00:00.240 --> 00:03.280
Parable of the unforgiving servant.

00:03.280 --> 00:05.120
Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like

00:05.120 --> 00:07.040
a king who wanted to settle accounts

00:07.040 --> 00:09.840
with his servants. As he began the

00:09.840 --> 00:12.240
settlement, a man who owed him 10,000

00:12.240 --> 00:14.960
bags of gold was brought to him. Since

00:14.960 --> 00:17.039
he was not able to pay, the master

00:17.039 --> 00:19.039
ordered that he and his wife and his

00:19.039 --> 00:21.680
children and all that he had be sold to

00:21.680 --> 00:24.880
repay the debi. At this, the servant

00:24.880 --> 00:27.920
fell on his knees before him. Be patient

00:27.920 --> 00:30.320
with me, he begged, and I will pay back

00:30.320 --> 00:32.800
everything. The servant's master took

00:32.800 --> 00:34.880
pity on him, canceled the debt, and let

00:34.880 --> 00:36.719
him go.

00:36.719 --> 00:38.960
But when that servant went out, he found

00:38.960 --> 00:40.960
one of his fellow servants who owed him

00:40.960 --> 00:43.680
a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him

00:43.680 --> 00:46.160
and began to choke him. "Pay back what

00:46.160 --> 00:49.200
you owe me," he demanded.

00:49.200 --> 00:51.200
His fellow servant fell to his knees and

00:51.200 --> 00:53.600
begged him, "Be patient with me and I

00:53.600 --> 00:55.760
will pay it back."

00:55.760 --> 00:58.879
but he refused. Instead, he went off and

00:58.879 --> 01:01.120
had the man thrown into prison until he

01:01.120 --> 01:03.359
could pay the debt. When the other

01:03.359 --> 01:05.518
servants saw what had happened, they

01:05.519 --> 01:07.920
were outraged and went and told their

01:07.920 --> 01:11.200
master everything that had happened.

01:11.200 --> 01:13.680
Then the master called the servant in.

01:13.680 --> 01:16.320
"You wicked servant," he said. "I

01:16.320 --> 01:18.240
canceled all that debt of yours because

01:18.240 --> 01:20.720
you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had

01:20.720 --> 01:23.200
mercy on your fellow servant just as I

01:23.200 --> 01:26.159
had on you?" In anger, his master handed

01:26.159 --> 01:28.640
him over to the jailers to be tortured

01:28.640 --> 01:31.759
until he should pay back all he owed.

01:31.759 --> 01:33.600
This is how my heavenly father will

01:33.600 --> 01:35.759
treat each of you unless you forgive

01:35.759 --> 01:38.159
your brother or sister from your heart.

01:38.159 --> 01:41.159
Jesus.
