Matthew 18:24

But when he began to settle accounts [began the joint accounting], one was brought to him who owed [him] tens of thousands of talents.
[The Greek word for settling accounts (adding up, reviewing, compiling, comparing, and reporting), synairo, literally means to settle together and jointly take up – the preposition syn indicates unity and togetherness, and the verb airo has the meaning of lifting/carrying up. Jesus uses the highest numerical value of the time (the adjective myrion, which is the plural form of the highest number myrios, 10,000) and the highest currency unit of the time in his parable. A talent was worth at least 6,000 denarii, where one denarius was equivalent to a worker's daily wage. The debt was therefore enormous – 60 million days' wages – which is equivalent to several million dollars. A debt impossible to repay on one's own!]
