Exegesis

In the direct question poson opheileis tō kuriōi mou {Πόσον ὀφείλεις τῷ κυρίῳ μου | Pó-son o-phei-leis tō̂ ku-rí-ōi mou}, the fronted “How much” places emphasis on the scale of the debt, with the dative specifying the creditor. The English translation preserves both the participial nuance and the interrogative focus.

In contextLuke 16:5

And he summoned to himself each of his master’s debtors , one by one, and he said to the first , “How much do you owe my master?”
