But since he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:25 Go To Matthew 18
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
The sale of his wife and the rest of his family shows the complete and utter separation from the joys of God. For the sale shows quite clearly alienation from God. Those alienated from God are those who hear those bitter, fearful words, “Depart from me, you workers of iniquity, for I do not know you.”
