A certain creditor had two debtors, the one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide.

for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies.

And he who had received the five talents, coming to him, brought five other talents, saying, Sir, thou deliveredst to me five talents: I have gained to them five other talents.
