Matthew 11:3

11:3 “Are you the one who is to come, ¹  or should we look for another?”

Matthew 18:24

18:24 As ²  he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents ³  was brought to him.

¹ sn Aspects of Jesus’ ministry may have led John to question whether Jesus was the promised stronger and greater one who is to come that he had preached about in Matt 3:1-12.

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ sn A talent was a huge sum of money, equal to 6,000 denarii. One denarius was the usual day’s wage for a worker. L&N 6.82 states, “a Greek monetary unit (also a unit of weight) with a value which fluctuated, depending upon the particular monetary system which prevailed at a particular period of time (a silver talent was worth approximately six thousand denarii with gold talents worth at least thirty times that much).”
