Footnotes

  1. Matthew 18:23 Or, is like. Same grammar as in 13:24.
  2. Matthew 18:24 A silver talent is 6000 denarii, 6000 days wages, the wages of 20 years for a laborer. Ten thousand talents is a huge amount of money, 600,000 times more than a hundred denarii in v 28. Such is our debt to God compared to anyone’s debt to us.
