It should be “talanton” with an “a” in the middle.<br /><br />> If a talent was really equivalent to 15 years’ wages or more, that would mean that the first servant, who got five talents, was handed at one go more money than he could have earned in his whole lifetime. The answer, of course, which can be found in any Greek dictionary, is that the primary meaning of talanton is “weight”. Like peso in Spanish, which also means “weight”, talent was simply the name given to many different coins minted in different countries and at different times, and having many different values. <br /><br />> Does Jesus really intend us to understand that the “honorable servant” is being handed first prize when he ends up cast into outer darkness where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth? I don’t think so.<br /><br />Must try harder, young Jim. Stay in after school and write out a hundred times, “In future I will be careful not to make so many silly mistakes.”<br />Ray Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258297478457941505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-69099638686677335232017-11-20T18:05:06.633+00:002017-11-20T18:05:06.633+00:00Think you could be on to something here bruvver, w...Think you could be on to something here bruvver, with the dynamic duo crime fighting the possibilities for new adventure are endless. Holmes and Watson,Batman and Robin,Bodie and Doyle,Starsky and Hutch,Cagney and Lacey. Yes now there is no such thing as gender the terrible twosome would excel as the fiesty,sassy Cagney and Lacey! I hope this will be a regular feature now? Could also branch out into other tv genre, I was an avid fan of the programme Rosie and Jim when growing up!RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081289185981526013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508374680487030801.post-40279845801744202382017-11-20T16:37:53.383+00:002017-11-20T16:37:53.383+00:00The Parable of the Vineyard Workers is another one...The Parable of the Vineyard Workers is another one…. The capitalist landowner paid the same daily wage to everyone, including the geezers who only started their shift at 5pm. So he obviously wasn’t paying the Minimum Wage to the ones who’d been hard at work all day. James Martin is right - Jesus had a bit of a blind spot when it comes to recognising institutional injustice to the poor.
