This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
42. μὴ ἐχόντων αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι. Not, as in A. V[167] “when they had nothing to pay,” but ‘when they were unable (had it not in their power) to pay.’ Vulg[168] non habentibus illis, unde redderent. The μὴ represents the thought of the creditor.

[167] A. V. Authorised Version.

[168] Vulg. Vulgate.

ἐχαρίσατο. ‘He remitted,’ involving the idea of that free grace and favour (χάρις) on which St Luke, like St Paul, is always glad to dwell. See Rom 3:24; Eph 2:8-9; Eph 4:32.
