Bible Question:
Answer the question. Is the slave (servant (NIV)) asking for forgiveness? Explain. |
Bible Answer: The slave is asking primarily for more time to work to pay off his debt. However, the 10,000 talents he owed would translate into millions of dollars today. It is unlikely that the slave, or servant, had access to that much money, or that he would ever have access to that much. Therefore, he was asking the king to give him time to pay a debt he would never pay off. In essence, he was almost asking the king to forgive his debt. So you could probably say he was asking for forgiveness. --Koinekid |
