Greek Commentary for Matthew 18:34
Not to prison simply, but to terrible punishment. The papyri give various instances of the verb βασανιζω basanizō to torture, used of slaves and others. “Livy (ii. 23) pictures an old centurion complaining that he was taken by his creditor, not into servitude, but to a workhouse and torture, and showing his back scarred with fresh wounds” (Vincent). [source]
(εως ου αποδωι παν heōs[hou] apodōi pan). Just as in Matthew 18:30, his very words. But this is not purgatorial, but punitive, for he could never pay back that vast debt. [source]
Livy pictures an old centurion complaining that he was taken by his creditor, not into servitude, but to a workhouse and torture, and showing his back scarred with fresh wounds (ii., 23). [source]
