MATTHEW 18:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.”
So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him: have patience with me, and I will pay you. The fellow servant's plea — have patience with me, I will pay you — is word-for-word the same as the first servant's plea to the king (verse 26). The echo communicates the parallel: the first servant is now the one receiving the same plea he himself made, and his response will be the opposite of the king's response to him.
