Matthew 18:30

Free Bible Version

But the man refused, and went and threw his fellow-servant into prison until he paid back what he owed.

See the chapter Copy

Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”

If you refuse to hear the cries of the poor, your cries won't be heard either.

His fellow-servant threw himself down at the man's feet and begged him, ‘Please be patient with me! I will pay you back!’

When the other servants saw what took place they were shocked and upset. They went and told their master everything that had happened.
