This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
28. εὗρεν, ‘found,’ perhaps even sought him out.
ἕνα τῶν συνδούλων. By this is meant the debt of man to man, offences which men are bound to forgive one another.
ἑκατὸν δηνάρια. The denarius was a day’s wage (ch. Mat 20:2). The sum therefore is about three months’ wages for an ordinary labourer, by no means a hopeless debt as the other was; see note, ch. Mat 26:7.
ἔπνιγεν, imperfect, not aor. 2, which does not appear to be used in the active. See Veitch and Lob. Phryn. 107.
