Exegesis
Two aorist active indicatives, apelusen {ἀπέλυσεν | a-pé-lu-sen} “released” and apheken {ἀφῆκεν | a-phê-ken} “forgave,” are connected by kai {καὶ | kaí}, yielding a coordinated sequence of completed actions.
In context — Matthew 18:27
Then the master of that servant, having compassion , set him free and forgave him the debt.
