28“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.Greek a hundred denarii ; a denarius was the usual daily wage of a day laborer (see 20:2).He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’30“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.
