Original text and translations
Antiphon, Matthew 18, 32 - 33
Latin text Serve nequam, omne debitum dimisi tibi quoniam rogasti me; nonne ergo oportuit et te misereri conservi tui, sicut et ego tui misertus sum? |
German translation Du nichtsnutziger Knecht! Deine ganze Schuld habe ich dir erlassen, weil du mich gebeten hast; hättest du dich da nicht auch erbarmen sollen über deinen Mitknecht, wie ich mich über dich erbarmt habe? |
English translation You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you? |
