This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
48. ἀφέωνται. ‘Have been forgiven.’ See note on Luk 5:20. The is forgiven of the previous verse is in the present, ‘is being forgiven.’ Both in the Old and New Testaments the readiness of God to forgive the deepest and most numerous sins is dwelt upon (Isa 1:18; Isa 55:7), and also the absoluteness of the forgiveness (Rom 5:20; 1Jn 4:10; 1Jn 4:19). There is an obvious analogy between this little parable of the debtors and that of the uncompassionate servant (Mat 18:23-27).
