Luke 16:5, Luke 16:7 ten thousand Μυριων G3461, ταλαντων G5007, a myriad of talents, the highest number known in Greek arithmetical notation. According to Prideaux, the Roman talent was equal to 216£; ten thousand of which would amount to 2,160,000£. If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450£, this sum amounts to 4,500,000£; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7,200£, then the amount is 72,000,000£. 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. 1Chr 29:7; Ezra 9:6; Ps 38:4, Ps 40:12, Ps 130:3-4 talents "A talent is 750 ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187£. 10s." commanded Lev 25:39; 2Kgs 4:1; Neh 5:5, Neh 5:8; Isa 50:1 worshipped him or, besought him have Matt 18:29; Luke 7:43; Rom 10:3 moved Judg 10:16; Neh 9:17; Ps 78:38, Ps 86:5, Ps 86:15, Ps 145:8; Hos 11:8 an hundred Rather, "a hundred denarii," as our penny does not convey one seventh of the meaning. This would amount to about 3£. 2s. 6d. English; which was not one six hundred thousandth part of the 10,000 talents, even calculating them as Roman talents. pence "The Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is sevenpence halfpenny."
