Matthew 18:24-26
International Standard Version
24 When he had begun to settle the accounts, a person who owed him 10,000 talents[a] was brought to him. 25 Because he couldn’t pay, his master ordered him, his wife, his children, and everything that he owned to be sold so that payment could be made. 26 Then the servant fell down and bowed low before him, saying, ‘Be patient[b] with me, and I will repay you everything!’
