owed Luke 7:41-42, Luke 13:4 *marg. Luke 16:5, Luke 16:7

ten thousand Μυριων G3461, ταλαντων G5007, a myriad of talents, the highest number known in Greek arithmetical notation. According to Prideaux, the Roman talent was equal to 216£; ten thousand of which would amount to 2,160,000£. If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450£, this sum amounts to 4,500,000£; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7,200£, then the amount is 72,000,000£. This immense sum represents our boundless obligations to God, and our utter incapacity, as sinners infinitely indebted to Divine justice, of paying one mite out of the talent. 1Chr 29:7; Ezra 9:6; Ps 38:4, Ps 40:12, Ps 130:3-4

talents "A talent is 750 ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187£. 10s."

an hundred Rather, "a hundred denarii," as our penny does not convey one seventh of the meaning. This would amount to about 3£. 2s. 6d. English; which was not one six hundred thousandth part of the 10,000 talents, even calculating them as Roman talents.
