Matthew 6:28-30

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

Solomon Had roughly 25 tons of gold annually stacked in his palace and treasury. 

That’s about 1.1 BILLION dollars of gold each year. And he ruled for 40 years

Hebrews 11:6

rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Rich young ruler 

Mark 10:21-30

Jesus looks around 

At his disciples 

Who had wealth! 

Jesus overflowed 2 fishing boats until they where sinking 

Using the dimensions of a boat from approximately the same time and location, we estimate that a total of 62,696 pounds of fish filled the 2 boats 

What Type of Money $$$ did they make on this one catch?

For the Low Estimate of Denarii Communes: 699,272 Denari communes (Low quality fish)

699,272 / 25 = 27,971 day’s pay. / 288 days per year worked = 97 years’ pay at General Laborer’s pay.

699,272/50 = 13,985 day’s pay / 288 days per year worked = 48.6 years’ pay at Skilled Laborer’s pay.

For the High Estimate of Denari Communes: 1,048,908 Denarii Communes (High quality fish)

1,048,908 /25 = 41,956 days’ pay / 288 days per year worked = 145.7 years’ pay at General Laborer’s pay

1,048,908/50 = 20,978 days’ pay / 288 days per year worked = 72.8 years’ pay at Skilled Laborer’s pay.
