Footnotes

  1. 145 A creditor was a moneylender, whose business was to lend money to others at a fixed rate of interest.
  2. 146 The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
  3. 147 Grk “five hundred denarii.” The silver coins were denarii. The denarius was worth about a day’s wage for a laborer; this would be an amount worth not quite two years’ pay. The debts were significant: They represented two months’ pay and one and three quarter years’ pay (20 months) based on a six day work week.
