[7:41]  1 sn A creditor was a moneylender, whose business was to lend money to others at a fixed rate of interest.

[7:41]  2 tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[7:41]  3 tn Grk “five hundred denarii.”

[7:42]  4 tn The verb ἐχαρίσατο (ecarisato) could be translated as “forgave.” Of course this pictures the forgiveness of God’s grace, which is not earned but bestowed with faith (see v. 49).

[18:24]  5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[18:24]  6 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).”
