What does Matthew 18:29 mean?

A servant who owes money desperately pleads with his creditor using the exact same words he'd just heard from his own master. The poignancy here is that he's offering the same plea for mercy that worked on the king, hoping his fellow servant will show the same compassion. It's a moment where we see how forgiveness could ripple outward if people truly learned the lesson they'd just received, though in this story, it tragically doesn't.
