Matthew 18:23-25
is Matt 3:2, Matt 13:24, Matt 13:31, Matt 13:33, Matt 13:44-45, Matt 13:47, Matt 13:52, Matt 25:1, Matt 25:14 which Matt 25:19-30; Luke 16:1-2, Luke 19:12-27; Rom 14:12; 1Cor 4:5; 2Cor 5:10-11 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." commanded Lev 25:39; 2Kgs 4:1; Neh 5:5, Neh 5:8; Isa 50:1
