Matthew 18:31 Context
29And his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Haue patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till hee should pay the debt. 31So when his fellow-seruants saw what was done, they were very sorie, and came, and told vnto their lord all that was done. 32Then his lord, after that hee had called him, said vnto him, O thou wicked seruant, I forgaue thee all that debt because thou desiredst me: 33Shouldest not thou also haue had compassion on thy fellow-seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 18:31
Mt 18:31 His fellowservants . . . were very sorry. Unmerciful treatment of the unfortunate is always wont to excite compassion. The servants were not only sorry for their wretched comrade, but they carried the case to their lord. It is always proper to carry the wrongs of fellow-beings which we cannot redress to our Heavenly Father.
