"And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. "But forasmuch as he had not wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, 26 and all that he had, and payment to be made. "The 3 servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. (27 "And the lord of that servant, being moved with com(28 passion, released him, and forgave him the 'debt. "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hold on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay (29 what thou owest. "So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will "And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due. "So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all (32) that was done. "Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all 33 that debt, because thou besoughtest me: "shouldest not

"The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with 11 his wife, it is not expedient to marry. "But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, but they to (12 whom it is given. "For there are eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, which made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.
