Now. 1 000 denarii.

Why wasn't this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?

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

For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. They grumbled against her.

Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.

But he answered them, You give them something to eat. They asked him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'

On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
