“The Unforgiving Servant – Jesus Mafa (1973)
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves…So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt. But that same slave, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat, he said, `Pay what you owe.’ ” – Matthew 18:23,26-28
