χρεωφειλέτης (from χρέος 'debt' + ὀφείλω 'owe') denotes someone who owes a debt, a debtor. Jesus uses it twice in parables about forgiveness. In Luke 7:41, he tells Simon the Pharisee: 'A certain moneylender had two debtors (χρεωφειλέται). One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty'—setting up a story about differing magnitudes of debt and forgiveness. In Luke 16:5, the unjust steward calls his master's debtors (χρεοφειλετῶν) and reduces their bills, trying to secure future favors. Both contexts use financial debt to illustrate spiritual or relational realities.
