Matthew 18:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ Jesus then said, ‘I will tell you a story to show what the kingdom of heaven is like. A king wanted to check how much money his servants should give to him because of their debts. ²⁴ So the king began to check. His men led a servant to him who had a big debt. He must pay back 10,000 gold coins to the king.^[a]

²⁵ The servant could not pay his big debt to the king. So the king said to his men, “Sell the servant and his wife and his children and all his things. Then I will keep the money to pay his debt.”
