馬太福音 18:26 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 18:23-35

The hard debtor. This parable follows our Lord's answer to St. Peter's question about the limits of forgiveness. The great reason why we should forgive freely is that we have been freely forgiven much more than any men owe to us. I. THE GREAT DEBT . This represents what the sinner owes to God. We pray that God will forgive us our debts ( Matthew 6:12 ). Deficiencies of duty are like debts considered as arrears of payments. Positive transgressions are like debts, through our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 18:26

Worshipped him. Prostrated himself before the monarch, and in this abject attitude sued for mercy. Have patience with me. Be long suffering in my case; give me time. And I will pay thee all. In his terror and anguish, he promises impossible things; even the revenues of a province would not in any convenient time supply this deficiency. The scene is very true to life. To save himself from a present difficulty, a debtor will make any promise that occurs to him, without considering whether... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 18:26

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him - This does not mean that he paid him religious homage, but that in a humble, reverent, and earnest manner he entreated him to have patience with him. He prostrated himself before his lord, as is customary in all Eastern nations when subjects are in the presence of their king. See the notes at Matthew 2:2. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 18:24-27

Matthew 18:24-27. One was brought who owed him ten thousand talents That is, according to the lowest computation, about two millions sterling. But it is probable, as the Prussian editors say, that the ten thousand talents are here put for an immense sum. Hereby our Lord intimates the vast number and weight of our offences against God, and our utter incapacity of making him any satisfaction. As he had not to pay Was utterly unable to discharge this immense debt; his lord commanded him... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 18:15-35

79. Lessons in forgiveness (Matthew 18:15-35)Disciples of Jesus should be willing to forgive fellow believers who sin against them, but they should also be concerned that offenders realize their sin and turn from it. In each case the believer should go to the offender privately and point out the wrongdoing, so that the person might be spiritually helped. If this fails, two or three others should be called in, firstly to make sure that the offender is in fact guilty and secondly to appeal for... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 18:21-35

The importance of forgiving a disciple 18:21-35From a discussion of discipline Jesus proceeded to stress the importance of forgiveness. Sometimes zealous disciples spend too much time studying church discipline and too little time studying the importance of forgiveness. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 18:24-27

This servant had great authority under an even greater king (cf. Matthew 18:1). However, he had amassed a debt of such huge proportions that he could not possibly repay it. A talent was a measure of weight equivalent to 75 pounds. The exact or even the relative buying power of 10,000 talents of silver is really secondary to the point Jesus was making, namely, that the debt was impossible to repay. Depending on the current price of silver, the slave owed the equivalent of many millions of... read more
