Matthew 18:24-26

Expanded Bible

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.

²⁶ “But the ·servant [slave] fell ·on his knees [face down; in obeisance] and begged, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything I owe.’
