Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle accounts, they brought to him a servant who owed him ten thousand bags of gold. Because the servant didn\u2019t have enough to pay it back, the master ordered that he should be sold, along with his wife and children and everything he had, and that the proceeds should be used as payment.

Instead, he threw him into prison until he paid back his debt.<\/p>\n
When his fellow servants saw what happened, they were deeply offended. They came and told their master all that happened. His master called the first servant and said, \u2018You wicked servant!
