Creditors: Sometimes Entirely Remitted Debts

Source: TTT

Nehemiah 5:10–12 I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury. / Please restore to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the percentage of the money, grain, new wine, and oil that you have been assessing them.” / “We will restore it,” they replied, “and will require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and required of the nobles and officials an oath that they would do what they had promised.
Matthew 18:27 His master had compassion on him, forgave his debt, and released him.
Luke 7:42 When they were unable to repay him, he forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?”
