Mat 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

In Christ's sybolism, emotions define human relationships. Our relationships are forged by the emotions our actions create in others. People cannot see into our soul, they can only know how we make them feel. We forge our relationships with others one feeling at a time. These real relationships are very different from "legal" relationships.

In the verse before last, it was the feelings of the fellow servants. Here, it is the feelings of the king.

However, Christ is always inferring that God has feeling as well. Does this really describe God? On a biological level, we are taught that our feelings come from chemicals in the bloodstream, but do our feelings arise from a deeper level of reality? My sense is that our feelings arise from our lack of knowledge of the future. Since we cannot know, we judge by our feelings. But God knows the future. God cannot see birth and death the same way as we do trapped in time.

"Wroth" is from orgizo, which means "to be made angry," "to be provoked to anger," and "to be irritated."

"Tormentors" is from basanistês, which means "examiner," "questioner," and "torturer." There is an inference here that the worthless servant must have more to hide.
