Matius 18:24-25

18:24 As ¹  he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents ²  was brought to him. 18:25 Because ³  he was not able to repay it, ⁴  the lord ordered him to be sold, along with ⁵  his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made.

[18:24]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:24]  ² sn A talent was a huge sum of money, equal to 6,000 denarii. One denarius was the usual day’s wage for a worker. L&N 6.82 states, “a Greek monetary unit (also a unit of weight) with a value which fluctuated, depending upon the particular monetary system which prevailed at a particular period of time (a silver talent was worth approximately six thousand denarii with gold talents worth at least thirty times that much).”

[18:25]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:25]  ⁴ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[18:25]  ⁵ tn Grk “and his wife.”
