23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.
Ideo assimilatum est regnum caelorum homini regi, qui voluit rationem ponere cum servis suis.

 24 And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents.
Et cum coepisset rationem ponere, oblatus est ei unus, qui debebat ei decem millia talenta.

 25 And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Cum autem non haberet unde redderet, jussit eum dominus ejus venundari, et uxorem ejus, et filios, et omnia quae habebat, et reddi.

 26 But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Procidens autem servus ille, orabat eum, dicens : Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

 27 And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt.
Misertus autem dominus servi illius, dimisit eum, et debitum dimisit ei.

 28 But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest.
Egressus autem servus ille invenit unum de conservis suis, qui debebat ei centum denarios : et tenens suffocavit eum, dicens : Redde quod debes.

 29 And his fellow servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Et procidens conservus ejus, rogabat eum, dicens : Patientiam habe in me, et omnia reddam tibi.

 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt.
Ille autem noluit : sed abiit, et misit eum in carcerem donec redderet debitum.

 31 Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came and told their lord all that was done.
Videntes autem conservi ejus quae fiebant, contristati sunt valde : et venerunt, et narraverunt domino suo omnia quae facta fuerant.

 32 Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
Tunc vocavit illum dominus suus : et ait illi : Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me :

 33 Shouldst not thou then have had compassion also on thy fellow servant, even as I had compassion on thee?
nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum?

 34 And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt.
Et iratus dominus ejus tradidit eum tortoribus, quoadusque redderet universum debitum.

 35 So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.
Sic et Pater meus caelestis faciet vobis, si non remiseritis unusquisque fratri suo de cordibus vestris.
