BCC ²³ C'est pourquoi le royaume des cieux est semblable à un roi qui voulu régler ses comptes avec ses serviteurs.

KJV ²³ Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

BCC ²⁴ Quand il se mit à régler les comptes, on lui amena un débiteur de dix mille talents.

KJV ²⁴ And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

BCC ²⁵ Comme il n'avait pas de quoi payer, son maître ordonna qu'on le vendît, lui, sa femme, ses enfants et tout ce qu'il avait pour que paiement fût fait.

KJV ²⁵ But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

BCC ²⁶ Alors le serviteur, tombé à ses pieds, demeurait prosterné, disant : "Seigneur, aie patience envers moi, et je te paierai tout."

KJV ²⁶ The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

BCC ²⁷ Touché de compassion, le maître de ce serviteur le laissa aller et lui remit sa dette.

KJV ²⁷ Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

BCC ²⁸ Ce serviteur, à peine sorti, rencontra un de ses compagnons de service, qui lui devait cent deniers. L'ayant saisi à la gorge, il l'étouffait, disant : "paie ce que tu dois."

KJV ²⁸ But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

BCC ²⁹ Son compagnon de service, tombé à ses pieds, le suppliait, disant : " Aie patience envers moi, et je te paierai."

KJV ²⁹ And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

BCC ³⁰ Mai lui ne voulait pas, et il s'en alla le faire mettre en prison jusqu'à ce qu'il eût payé sa dette.

KJV ³⁰ And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

BCC ³¹ Ce que voyant, ses compagnons de service furent grandement contristés, et ils vinrent raconter à leur maître ce qui s'était passé.

KJV ³¹ So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

BCC ³² Alors le maître le fit appeler et lui dit : "serviteur méchant, je t'ai remis toute cette dette, parce que tu m'as supplié.

KJV ³² Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

BCC ³³ Ne devais-tu pas, toi aussi, avoir pitié de ton compagnon de service, comme moi-même j'ai eu pitié de toi ?"

KJV ³³ Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

BCC ³⁴ Et son maître irrité le livra aux bourreaux, jusqu'à ce qu'il eût payé toute sa dette.

KJV ³⁴ And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
