Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 18:28

_ _ But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants — Mark the difference here. The first case is that of master and servant; in this case, both are on a footing of equality. (See Matthew 18:33, below.)

_ _ which owed him an hundred pence — If Jewish money is intended, this debt was to the other less than one to a million.

_ _ and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat — he seized and throttled him.

_ _ saying, Pay me that thou owest — Mark the mercilessness even of the tone.
