MATTHEW 18:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.”
And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. The reversal of the forgiveness: the master who forgave the debt in pity now delivers the unforgiving servant to the jailers for the full debt. The anger that drives the reversal is the anger of violated covenant relationship — the king who forgave generously is not receiving the gratitude and imitation that the generosity deserved.
