24 When he began to settle accounts, they brought to him a servant who owed him ten thousand bags of gold.
25 Because the servant didn’t 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.
26 But the servant fell down, kneeled before him, and said, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I’ll pay you back.’
