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.

The verse 25 is found in chapter 18 of Matthew. The parable of the unforgiving servant teaches that forgiveness received from God must transform the way people treat others. The enormous contrast between the debt forgiven and the debt demanded makes the lack of mercy a spiritual contradiction.

Da er's nun nicht hatte, zu bezahlen, hieß der Herr verkaufen ihn und sein Weib und seine Kinder und alles, was er hatte, und bezahlen.
Mas a éste, no pudiendo pagar, mandó su señor venderle, y a su mujer e hijos, con todo lo que tenía, y que se le pagase.
Como no tenía con qué pagar, su amo ordenó que lo vendieran, junto con su esposa, sus hijos y todo lo que tenía, para pagar la deuda.
Comme il n'avait pas de quoi payer, son maître ordonna qu'il fût vendu, lui, sa femme, ses enfants, et tout ce qu'il avait, et que la dette fût acquittée.
E non avendo egli da pagare, il suo signore comandò ch’egli, e la sua moglie, e i suoi figliuoli, e tutto quanto avea, fosse venduto, e che il debito fosse pagato.
E, não tendo ele com que pagar, o seu senhor mandou que ele, e sua mulher e seus filhos fossem vendidos, com tudo quanto tinha, para que a dívida se lhe pagasse.
因為他沒有甚麼償還之物,主人下令把他和他妻子兒女,以及一切所有的都賣了來償還。
