Exegesis
The accusative auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} serves as the direct object of the first verb, while the neuter noun to daneion {τὸ δάνειον | tò dá-nei-on} with the dative auto {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} functions as the object of remission in the second, emphasizing both personal and financial liberation. English renders the participle as a causal-temporal modifier (“having compassion”/“felt deep pity”) followed by paired finite verbs to preserve the emphasis on the master’s compassionate initiative.
In context — Matthew 18:27
Then the master of that servant, having compassion , set him free and forgave him the debt.
