The verse 30 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.

Er wollte aber nicht, sondern ging hin und warf ihn ins Gefängnis, bis daß er bezahlte, was er schuldig war.
Mas Él no quiso; sino fue, y le echó en la cárcel hasta que pagase la deuda.
Pero él no quiso, sino que fue y lo echó en la cárcel hasta que pagara la deuda.
Mais l'autre ne voulut pas, et il alla le jeter en prison, jusqu'à ce qu'il eût payé ce qu'il devait.
Ma egli non volle, anzi andò, e lo cacciò in prigione, finchè avesse pagato il debito.
Ele, porém, não quis, antes foi encerrá-lo na prisão, até que pagasse a dívida.
他不肯,卻把他下在監裏,直到他還了所欠的債。
