John Gill Commentary Matthew 18:32

"Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:" — Matthew 18:32 (ASV)

Then his Lord, after that he had called him
Or ordered him to be called, and brought before him,

said unto him, O you wicked servant !
Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads, "you servant of Belial"; you cruel and hard hearted man to your fellow servant, and ungrateful creature to me, on whom my goodness to you has not made any impression, nor taken any effect:

I forgave you all that debt :
all that vast debt of ten thousand talents, and that freely:

because you desired me :
not to forgive the debt, but to have patience, and give time, and therefore unasked forgave the whole sum, every farthing of it; which was such an instance of pure goodness, as was enough to have wrought upon an heart of stone, and engaged the most tender concern and pity for a fellow creature, as well as filled with thankfulness to the kind benefactor. The favour so lately bestowed on him is justly observed as an aggravation of his wickedness.
