The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (also known as ''Ungrateful Servant'', ''Unmerciful Servant'', or ''Wicked Servant'' but not to be confused with the parable of the Two Debtors) is a parable of Jesus which appears in only one of the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. According to Matthew it is important to forgive others as we are forgiven by God, as illustrated by the negative example of the unforgiving servant. ==Narrative== The parable is told as an answer to a question by Peter about forgiveness: The lines before the parable itself are similar to Luke The talent in this parable was worth about 6,000 denarii, so that one debt is 600,000 times as large as the other.〔R. T. France, ''(The Gospel According to Matthew: An introduction and commentary )'', Eerdmans, 1985, ISBN 0-8028-0063-7, p. 277.〕 More significantly, 10,000 (a myriad) was the highest Greek numeral, and a talent the largest unit of currency,〔 so that 10,000 talents was the largest easily described debt (for comparison, the combined annual tribute of Judea, Samaria, and Idumea around this time was only 600 talents,〔Craig S. Keener, ''(A Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew )'', Eerdmans, 1999, ISBN 0-8028-3821-9, pp. 456–461.〕 and one denarius was a day's wages,〔 so that 10,000 talents would be about 200,000 years' wages〔60,000,000 denarii divided by 6 days per week divided by 50 weeks = 200,000 years' wages.〕). The setting is the court of some king in another country, where the "servants" could rank as highly as provincial governors.〔
