MATTHEW 18:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.”
And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. The king's response transcends what the servant asked: the servant asked for patience (more time to repay); the king gave forgiveness (cancellation of the entire debt). The pity that drove the forgiveness is the emotion of compassion that throughout Matthew's Gospel produces miraculous provision (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 15:32). The entire unpayable debt is cancelled.
