PARABLE 8 OF 22
The Unforgiving Servant
Mattityahu 18:21–35
PARABLE · TO THE DISCIPLES
A servant forgiven a fortune by his king then chokes a fellow servant over a coin, and the king reverses the pardon.
The math is staggering: ten thousand talents (a king's ransom) versus a hundred denarii (a workman's wages). Yeshua's point is the disproportion. If you've grasped the size of your own forgiveness, refusing to extend it to another is unthinkable. The Father gives mercy; He also expects it to flow.
