Save yourself and us!” ⁴⁰ But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” ⁴² And he said, “Jesus, remember me ^(D)when you come into your kingdom.” ⁴³ And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in ^(E)paradise.”

²³ “Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished ^(A)to settle accounts with his servants.^{[a] 24} When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ^(B)ten thousand ^(C)talents.^{[b] 25 (D)}And since he could not pay, his master ordered him ^(E)to be sold, with his wife and ^(F)children and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ So the servant^{[c] (G)}fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ ²⁷ And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and ^(H)forgave him the debt.
