"But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence; and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not; but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him."

"Men da tjeneren gik ud, traf han en af sine medtjenere, som skyldte ham hundrede denarer; og han greb ham i struben og sagde Betal, hvad du skylder! Da kastede hans medtjener sig ned for ham, bad ham og sagde: Hav tålmodighed med mig, så vil jeg betale dig. Men det ville han ikke; derimod gik han hen og lod ham kaste i fængsel, indtil han betalte, hvad han skyldte ham. Da nu hans medtjenere så, hvad der gik for sig, blev de meget bedrøvede og kom og fortalte deres herre alt, hvad der var foregået. Da kalder hans herre ham for sig og siger. Du onde tjener! Al den gæld eftergav jeg dig, da du bad mig om det. Burde du så ikke også forbarme dig over din medtjener ligesom jeg havde forbarmet mig over dig! Og hans herre blev vred og overgav ham til bøddelknægtene, indtil han fik betalt alt det, han skyldte ham."
