Exegesis
The phrase meta tōn doulōn autou {μετὰ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ | me-tá tōn doú-lōn au-toû} ‘with his servants’ highlights the participants in the reckoning, using the genitive after meta to denote association. The formal reconstruction closely follows this clause structure, while the dynamic version renders the idioms in natural English to convey the parable’s meaning without altering its theological nuances.
In context — Matthew 18:23
Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who desired to settle accounts with his servants.
