And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Pero él se negó. En cambio, hizo que echaran al hombre en la cárcel hasta que pudiera pagar cada centavo que debía.
El hombre se negó a tener misericordia y en su lugar encarceló a quien le debía hasta que pagara toda la deuda.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jesus tells the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant as part of his teaching on forgiveness in Matthew 18, which addresses how believers should handle conflicts and show mercy. In this story, a servant who was forgiven an enormous debt by his master refuses to extend the same grace to another servant who owes him a small amount, leading him to demand imprisonment. This reflects the common ancient practice in the Roman Empire and surrounding cultures where debtors could be jailed until their debts were paid.
