Matthew 10:15

10:15 I tell you the truth, ¹  it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah ²  on the day of judgment than for that town!

Matthew 25:14-15

The Parable of the Talents

25:14 “For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves ³  and entrusted his property to them. 25:15 To ⁴  one he gave five talents, ⁵  to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.

[10:15]  ¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[10:15]  ² sn The allusion to Sodom and Gomorrah, the most wicked of OT cities from Gen 19:1-29, shows that to reject the current message is even more serious than the worst sins of the old era and will result in more severe punishment.

[25:14]  ³ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[25:15]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[25:15]  ⁶ sn A talent was equal to 6000 denarii. See the note on this term in 18:24.
