Contextual Overview
21 Then Peter advancing to him, said, Lord, if my brother injures me, how many injuries must I forgive him? must I forgive him seven? 22 Jesus answered, I tell thee not only seven: but seventy times seven. 23 In this respect the gospel-kingdom may be represented by that of a temporal prince, who had a mind to call his servants to account. 24 when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him indebted the sum of ten thousand talents. 25 but being insolvent, his lord gave orders that he, with his wife, and children, and all that he had, should be sold for payment. 26 the servant therefore fell prostrate before him, and cry'd out, Lord, allow me but time and I will pay the whole. 27 upon which the lord of that vassal, touch'd with compassion, gave him his liberty, and discharged him of the debt. 28 but this very servant presently after met with one of his fellow-servants, who owed him an hundred pence: and violently seizing him, said, pay me the debt. 29 and his fellow-servant fell at his feet, and embraced him, saying, allow me time, and I will pay thee all. 30 which he would not allow: but immediately threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So when his fellow servants saw what was done,.... What hard usage, and ill treatment, their fellow servant met with; the Syriac reads, "their fellow servants", being the fellow servants both of the creditor and the debtor:
they were very sorry; they were greatly grieved and troubled at the cruelty of the one, and the unhappiness of the other; being more tenderhearted, and of a more forgiving spirit than he:
and came and told unto their Lord all that was done; to their fellow servant, by one that had so lately received such favours from him: this may be expressive of the concern of some members of churches at such conduct: who, though they may not have strength and number sufficient to oppose such measures, yet being secretly grieved at such cruel methods, go to the throne of grace, and spread the case before the Lord, tell him all that is done by way of complaint; which, is no impeachment of his omniscience, only shows their trouble for such malpractices, and the sense they have, by whom only such grievances can be redressed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
So when his fellow-servants ... - This is a mere circumstance thrown into the story for the sake of keeping, or making a consistent narrative. It cannot be intended to teach that other Christians should go and tell God what a brother has done; for God well knows all the actions of his children, and does not need us surely to inform him of what is done. It is abusing the Bible, and departing from the design of parables, to press every circumstance, and to endeavor to extract from it some spiritual meaning. Our Saviour, in this parable, designed most clearly to exhibit only one great truth - the duty of forgiving our brethren, and the great evil of not forgiving a brother when he offends us. The circumstances of the parable are intended only to make the story consistent with itself, and thus to impress the general truth more fully on the mind.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 18:31. His fellow-servants saw what was done — An act of this kind is so dishonourable to all the followers of Christ, and to the spirit of his Gospel, that through the respect they owe to their Lord and Master, and through the concern they feel for the prosperity of his cause, they are obliged to plead against it at the throne of God.
