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 ## "500 day's wages." "Denarii" is the plural of "denarius." (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/biblicalmoney]], [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]]) ## fifty denarii ## "50 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"
