Matthew 18

26 Then the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Have patience with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’
27 His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.

29 So his fellow servant fell down and begged him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you back.’
