And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Ver. 24. Which owed him ten thousand talents] A talent is said to be 600 crowns; 10,000 talents are well nigh 12 tons of gold. As often therefore as thy brother offends thee, think with thyself what a price is put into thy hands, what an opportunity is offered thee of gaining so great a prize, of gathering in so rich a harvest.
