One was brought who owed him ten thousand talents — According to the usual computation, if these were talents of gold, this would amount to seventy — two millions sterling. If they were talents of silver, it must have been four millions, four hundred thousand pounds. Hereby our Lord intimates the vast number and weight of our offences against God, and our utter incapacity of making him any satisfaction.
