Luke 7:41; Luke 7:42; Luke 13:4
Luke 16:5; Luke 16:7
ten thousand.[Murias talanton,] a myriad of talents, the highest number known in Greek arithmetical notation. According to Prideaux, the Roman talent was equal to 216\u65533; ten thousand of which would amount to 2,160,000\u65533 . If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450\u65533 ., this sum amounts to 4,500,000\u65533 .; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7200\u65533 ., then the amount is 72,000,000\u65533 . This immense sum represents our boundless obligations to God, and our utter incapacity, as sinners infinitely indebted to Divine justice, of paying one mite out of the talent.

talents."A talent is 750 ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187\u65533 . 10s."
