Matthew 18:30

New International Version

“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.

See the chapter Copy

and say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.’ ”

Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.

“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
