	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Parables
		Tertullian (De Fuga) and, long afterwards, Salmeron apply all to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles, who were indeed debtors to the law, but who should have been treated indulgently and not repelled.
		Lastly, there seems no ground for the widespread belief that "mammon" was the Phoenician Plutus, or god of riches; the word signifies "money."
		This short apologue may be considered a parable, but it needs no explanation beyond St. Paul's phrase "not of works, but of Him that calleth" (Romans 9:11).
