till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing] The creditour might have shewed mercy, the judge will not, till the creditour be satisfied: so God will not forgive you wrongs done to men, if you endeavour not to give them satisfaction. Others understand these two verses literally, as counsell given by our Saviour for us to avoid suits, and rather agree with those whom we have wronged, then stand to a publike triall, where, if the judge be just, no favour can be expected.
