Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 18:23

Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 18:23 · Douay-Rheims
“Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. 83. 6.) That He says he owed him a hundred denarii is taken from the same number, ten, the number of the Law. For a hundred times a hundred are ten thousand, and ten times ten are a hundred; and those ten thousand talents and these hundred denarii are still keeping to the number of the Law; in both of them you find sins. Both are debtors, both are suitors for remission; so every man is himself a debtor to God, and has his brother his debtor.”
