The Parable of the Bags of Gold
The word for “servant” (doulos) can also mean “slave.” Paul called himself a doulos of Christ. The bags of gold are translated as “talents” in the Greek. They were not coins but units of monetary reckoning. The bags of gold represented very large sums of money, far more than the average person would ever see in a lifetime. The large sums of money may have brought the temple to mind for Jesus’ audience.
