MATTHEW 18:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.”
When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. The ten thousand talents is the largest imaginable debt in the ancient world — probably the equivalent of many years of the entire Roman Empire's tax revenue. The impossibility of the debt communicates the impossibility of repaying it: this servant could never repay what he owes the king.
