Matthew 18:24

24 And when he had begun taking account, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ^{▼▼18:24One talent (probably of silver, in this case) was equivalent to about 25 or so kilograms, so this was a huge sum of money. Also, to owe this large a sum, he would have to be one of the nobility, not the type of servant who did manual labor.(Conte)
,} ^{▼▼18:24 Talents: A talent was seven hundred and fifty ounces of silver, which at the rate of five shillings to the ounce is a hundred and eighty-seven pounds ten shillings sterling.(Challoner)}
