Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μὴ ἐχόντων αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι
no_‹money› having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: μὴ ἐχόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀποδοῦναι ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο τίς οὖν αὐτῶν πλεῖον ἀγαπήσει αὐτόν)
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages in order to be complete. He is not saying that the men no longer needed to repay these debts. Rather, he is saying that they did not have enough money to repay the lender what they owed him. Alternate translation: “When they were not able to repay their debts”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀμφοτέροις ἐχαρίσατο
˱to˲_both ˱he˲_forgave
This does not mean literally that the lender decided he would not hold their failure to repay against them. Rather, it is an idiom that means that he told them they did not have to repay the money. Alternate translation: “he canceled both of their debts”
