Exegesis
The nominative heis opheilētēs {εἷς ὀφειλέτης | heis opheilétēs} introduces a single obligated individual, and the genitive myriōn talantōn {μυρίων ταλάντων | myriōn talantōn} conveys the staggering size of the claim. In English, the genitive absolute is rendered temporally and “owed” makes the indebtedness explicit to preserve narrative clarity and underscore the gravity of the debt.
In context — Matthew 18:24
But as he began to settle accounts , one debtor who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him.
