Matthew 18:
Talent is a measurement of weight, not a measure of worth.
A talent would measure either gold or silver and equals around 75 pounds.
Modern day silver estimate= $17.24/oz = $275.84/lb.=
$20,688/talent
10,000 talents of silver = $206,880,000
Modern day gold estimate= $1,348.50/oz=
$21,576/lb.=
$1,618,200/talent
10,000 talents of Gold = $16,182,000,000
-If this sum is measured in gold there is only 56 people out of 7.4 billion who could pay this amount back.
Denarii- a Roman silver coin worth about 15 cents.
Equaled a day’s pay for a common laborer.
-Actual value in silver content would be $3.62 for a denarii.
-100 denarii would be $300.62
-Based on a days wage- median pay/hour for general laborer $15/hr.=
$120/day
-100 denarii would be $12,000
