MATTHEW 18:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.”
But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying: pay what you owe. The contrast: the servant forgiven ten thousand talents immediately seizes a fellow servant who owes him one hundred denarii — about three months' wages. The seizing and choking communicates the violence of the demand. The one who was released from an unpayable debt demands payment of a manageable one.
