Jesus told a parable out an unforgiving servant who got forgiven a great debt. In turn he refused to forgive another servant who owed him a little. He got severely reprimanded by his master for his lack of forgiveness, seeing he himself had been forgive. He was then thrown back into prison.
Parables.
Jesus is famous for telling parables in the Bible. Parables are simple stories used to teach moral or spiritual lessons. Jesus used parables throughout his teachings to convey important messages in a way that was easily understood by his audience.
Parables are, by their nature, fiction. Jesus is thought to have told many parables in order to teach the moral truths behind the parables, not because the parables were literally true. A second element of fiction is identified when we realise that it is unlikely that Jesus actually spoke these parables, and that most or all of them were created by writers long after his death so as to give substance to Jesus' teachings. This is as true of the parable of the Prodigal Son as of other New Testament parables.
