Matthew 18:30

New American Bible - revised edition

But he refused. Instead, he had him put in prison until he paid back the debt.

See the chapter Copy

and say, ‘This is the king’s order: Put this man in prison and feed him scanty rations of bread and water until I come back in safety.’”

Those who shut their ears to the cry of the poor will themselves call out and not be answered.

Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

Now when his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were deeply disturbed, and went to their master and reported the whole affair.
