Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and released him, and forgave him the debt.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:27 Go To Matthew 18
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Up to this point then this man was good and acceptable; for he confessed, and promised to pay the debt, and fell down before him, and entreated, and condemned his own sins, and knew the greatness of the debt. But the sequel is unworthy of his former deeds. For going out straightway, not after a long time but straightway, having the bene fit fresh upon him, he abused to wickedness the gift, even the freedom bestowed on him by his master.
