Creditors » Sometimes entirely remitted debts
I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury. Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them." Then they said, "We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as you say." Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
