# one hundred denarii

"100 denarii" or "one hundred days' wages" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# He grasped him

"The first servant grasped his fellow servant"

# grasped

"took hold of" or "grabbed"

This shows that the fellow servant approached the first servant in the most humble way possible. See how you translated this in [Matthew 18:26](./26.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])

# and implored him

"and begged him"
