About this Bible story

In Matthew 18, Jesus tells the story of the unforgiving servant, highlighting the importance of mercy. The servant, having been forgiven a great debt, refuses to show the same kindness to a fellow servant. As the master asks, 'Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant?', we are reminded of our own call to forgive.

β€œShouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant?”

β€” Matthew 18:33 (NIV)
