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.
