“A certain creditor ¹  had two debtors; one owed him ²  five hundred silver coins, ³  and the other fifty.

As ¹  he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents ²  was brought to him.

After ¹  he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. ²  So ³  he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, ⁴  saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ ⁵ 

Pay everyone what is owed: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him ¹  until he repaid all he owed.

But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt.

Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. ¹ 

You may exact payment from a foreigner, but whatever your fellow Israelite ¹  owes you, you must remit.

So ¹  he contacted ²  his master’s debtors one by one. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

All those who were in trouble or owed someone money or were discontented ¹  gathered around ²  him, and he became their leader. He had about four hundred men with him.

But you say, ‘If someone tells his father or mother, “Whatever help you would have received from me is given to God,” ¹ 

But you say that if anyone tells his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you would have received from me is corban’ ¹  (that is, a gift for God),

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to fulfill their duty ¹  toward their own household and so repay their parents what is owed them. ²  For this is what pleases God. ³ 

We will not buy ¹  on the Sabbath or on a holy day from the neighboring peoples who bring their wares and all kinds of grain to sell on the Sabbath day. We will let the fields lie fallow every seventh year, and we will cancel every loan. ²
