Ten thousand talents owed, A hundred denarii collected. Cyril OF Alexandria: The God of all releases us from the difficulties of our faults, according to the parable. This is what is signified by the ten thousand talents, But this happens on the proviso that we our­selves release our fellow servants from the hun­dred denarii, that is, from the few minor faults they have committed against us. The angels who stand over us and are under the same yoke of service as we are make accusations before God. They do not speak to God as if God does not know—for God knows everything. Rather, in the interest of justice, they demand the proper punishment for those who choose to despise and dishonor the command that we love one another. When we meet our proper deserts, either we receive punishment in our present life, such as being visited with some pain or trouble or infirmity, or if not, we will certainly be punished in the future life. God punishes the obsti­nate, intractable person with a view to improving and changing him for the better. This is easy to see. Holy Scripture is pertinent here, in these wisely spoken words: “the Lord disci­plines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son,” and again: “Abide instruc­tion.” fragment 216.
