Mat 18:33 Shouldn't you also have had compassion on your fellowservant, even as I had pity on you?

Remember, this long story illustrates the nature of the "kingdom of heaven," that is, "the universal rule." In its oldest form, the idea is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Here, the king express that rule directly.

"Compassion" and "pity" are the same word here, eleeô, which means "to have pity on," and "to show mercy to." It is from the Greek eleos, which means "mercy," "pity," and "compassion."
