Matthew 18:22-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you up to seven-times, but up to seventy-times[a] [and][b] seven. 23 For this reason, the kingdom of the heavens became-like[c] a man who was a king, who wished to settle the account with his slaves. 24 And he having begun to settle it, one debtor of ten-thousand talents[d] was brought to him.

- Matthew 18:22 That is, seventy-occasions, as also with ‘seven-times’ in v 21.
- Matthew 18:22 For a total of seventy-seven. Or, [times], making 490.
- Matthew 18:23 Or, is like. Same grammar as in 13:24.
- Matthew 18:24 A silver talent is 6000 denarii, 6000 days wages, the wages of 20 years for a laborer. Ten thousand talents is a huge amount of money, 600,000 times more than a hundred denarii in v 28. Such is our debt to God compared to anyone’s debt to us.
