The Greek word for "master" here is "κύριος" (kyrios), often translated as "lord" or "owner," signifying authority and control. In the context of the parable, the master represents God, who has ultimate authority over His creation. The summoning is a call to account, reflecting the biblical principle that all will stand before God to give an account of their lives (<a href="/romans/14-12.htm">Romans 14:12</a>). This moment underscores the seriousness with which God views our actions and the grace He extends.and declared The word "declared" comes from the Greek "λέγω" (legō), meaning to speak or say. This is not a casual conversation but a pronouncement of judgment. It reflects the authoritative voice of God, who speaks truth and justice. In biblical history, God's declarations are powerful and transformative, as seen in creation (Genesis 1) and the giving of the Law (Exodus 20). Here, the declaration is a pivotal moment, revealing the servant's heart and the master's righteous judgment.You wicked servant! The term "wicked" is translated from the Greek "πονηρός" (ponēros), which denotes evil or morally corrupt behavior. This strong rebuke highlights the servant's failure to emulate the mercy he received. In Scripture, wickedness is often associated with a heart turned away from God (<a href="/jeremiah/17-9.htm">Jeremiah 17:9</a>). The servant's wickedness lies in his ingratitude and lack of compassion, contrasting sharply with the master's earlier mercy. This serves as a warning to believers about the dangers of harboring unforgiveness and failing to reflect God's character.I forgave all your debt The phrase "I forgave all your debt" emphasizes the completeness and generosity of the master's forgiveness. The Greek word for "forgave" is "ἀφίημι" (aphiēmi), meaning to release or let go. This reflects the biblical concept of forgiveness as a release from the burden of sin (<a href="/psalms/103-12.htm">Psalm 103:12</a>). The master’s forgiveness is total, mirroring God's forgiveness of our sins through Christ (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). This act of grace is foundational to Christian theology, underscoring the unmerited favor believers receive.because you begged me The phrase "because you begged me" highlights the servant's initial plea for mercy. The Greek word "παρακαλέω" (parakaleō) means to beseech or entreat earnestly. This reflects the humility and desperation with which the servant approached the master. In the biblical narrative, God responds to genuine repentance and heartfelt pleas for mercy (<a href="/2_chronicles/7-14.htm">2 Chronicles 7:14</a>). However, the servant's subsequent actions reveal a disconnect between his plea and his heart, serving as a cautionary tale about the sincerity of our repentance and the expectation to extend the grace we receive to others.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/18.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(32) Desiredst me.--Better, entreatedst me. In the story of the parable, the man had not specifically asked for this. His general prayer for forbearance had been answered above all that he could ask or think.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/18.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 32. - After that he had called him. A second time he is brought before his lord, not now to receive forgiveness, but to have the enormity of his guilt exhibited to him, and to suffer well deserved punishment. In a mystical sense this call is the summons of death, which is virtually judgment. O thou wicked servant. The lord had not so addressed him when he had come cringing into his presence on the former occasion; he had spoken no words of reproach, but simply left him in the hands of justice. Now he calls him "wicked," because he is unmerciful; he deserves the epithet, because he has been guilty of a crime as heinous as theft or murder. Then the lord places in strong contrast the mercy which he had received and the unmercifulness which he had shown. All that debt. Great as it was. Thou desiredst me (παρεκάλεσας); besoughtest me; calledst on me for aid. The debtor had not asked or hoped for remission of his debt, and had been largely and most unexpectedly blessed. <a href="/commentaries/matthew/18-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then Τότε (Tote) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_5119.htm">Strong's 5119: </a> Then, at that time.
