(Jesus told Simon a story about people who are forgiven.)

## There were two debtors to a certain lender ##

"a certain lender had two debtors"

## five hundred denarii ##

"five hundred day's wages." "Denarii" is the plural of "denarius." (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/biblicalmoney]])

## fifty denarii ##

"fifty day's wages"

## Since they had no money to pay ##

"When they did not have money to pay it back"

## he forgave them both ##

"he forgave their debts" or "he canceled their debts"

## I suppose ##

Simon was cautious about his answer. It could be translated as "Probably."

## You have judged correctly ##

"You are right"
