# General Information:
|
|
|
|
This is the end of the part of the story that began in [Matthew 18:1](../18/01.md), where Jesus teaches about life in the kingdom of heaven.
|
|
|
|
# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus concludes his parable about forgiveness and reconciliation.
|
|
|
|
# His master
|
|
|
|
"The king"
|
|
|
|
# handed him over
|
|
|
|
"gave him over." Most likely the king himself did not take the first servant to the torturers. Alternate translation: "he ordered his servants to give him over" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# to the torturers
|
|
|
|
"to those who would torture him"
|
|
|
|
# that was owed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "that the first servant owed the king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
