ISB ~ Matthew 18 v24

ten thousand talents:A “talent” (coin) is equivalent to 6,000 denarii, or 20 years’ wages for a laborer.

The figure is exaggerated for emphasis:the parable accentuates the king’s (God’s) mercy in forgiving an incalculable debt that was impossible for the servant (man) to repay.
