Matthew 18:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ “[^LTherefore; For this reason] The kingdom of heaven is like a king who decided to ·collect the money his servants owed him [^Lsettle accounts with his servants/slaves]. ²⁴ When the king began ·to collect his money [the settlement/reckoning], a ·servant [slave] who owed him ·several million dollars [or billions of dollars; ^Lten thousand talents; ^Ca talent was worth about six thousand days’ wages; this is an impossibly high debt] was brought to him. ²⁵ But ·the servant [^Lhe] did not have enough money to pay his master. So the master ordered that ·the servant [^Lhe] be sold, together with his wife and children and everything he owned, and the debt paid.
