ルカの福音書 19:12 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:12-27

Probation and award. Jesus Christ here invites us to do two things. I. TO TREAT THIS LIFE AS A TIME OF SACRED OPPORTUNITY . The "nobleman" of the parable gave to his servants a certain sum, of which they were to make good use during his absence. His charge was this: "Occupy till I come." 1 . The time of the nobleman's absence stands for our mortal life. Whether it be long or short, our present life is a period during which we have to be preparing for another of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 19:12

A certain nobleman - A prince; a man descended from kings, and having a title, therefore, to succeed in the kingdom.Went into a far country ... - This expression is derived from the state of things in Judea in the time of the Saviour. Judea was subject to the Romans, having been conquered by Pompey about sixty years before Christ. It was, however, governed by “Jews,” who held the government “under” the Romans. It was necessary that the prince or king should receive a recognition of his right to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 19:12

Luke 19:12. A certain nobleman Or, a certain king’s son; went into a far country to receive a kingdom, &c. In order to be confirmed in his father’s kingdom, he went into a distant country to do homage unto a more powerful potentate, of whom he held it as a vassal. There is supposed to be an allusion here to a custom which prevailed greatly in our Lord’s time among the princes of the East; who, before they ventured to ascend the throne, went to Rome, and solicited the emperor’s... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 19:11-27

115. Parable of the pounds (Luke 19:11-27)As Jesus drew nearer to Jerusalem, those with him became excited, thinking he was about to establish a world-conquering kingdom. Jesus corrected their misunderstanding by telling them a parable (Luke 19:11). He was like a man who was entitled to a kingdom, but who had first to go to the seat of power in a distant country to have his kingdom confirmed, after which he would return to claim it. Before he left for the distant country, he gave an equal... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Luke 19:12

A certain nobleman . This parable is peculiar to Luke. The point of it was that Herod the Great and his son Archelaus ( App-109 ) had actually gone from Jericho (where the parable was spoken; and where the latter had just rebuilt his palace. Josephus, Antiquities xvii. 13,1) to Rome to receive the sovereignty (see Josephus, Antiquities xiv. 14. 3,4; xvii 9 4). Herod Antipas ( App-109 ) subsequently did the same thing (Josephus, Antiquities xviii. 7:2). nobleman = a man ( App-123 .) high... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 19:12

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and return. And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:12

Luke 19:12. A certain nobleman, &c.— A certain noble lord took a long journey into another country, to be vested with and confirmed in his kingdom, and then to return, with all his honour and authority, to distribute proper rewards to his subjects: so Christ is of high and noble birth, as the Lord from heaven; and being King of Israel, and of the whole church of God, he ascended up on high, to be invested with his spiritual and glorious kingdom. In short, the meaning of this part of the... read more

12. a far country—said to put down the notion that He was just on His way to set up His kingdom, and to inaugurate it by His personal presence. to receive . . . a kingdom—be invested with royalty; as when Herod went to Rome and was there made king; a striking expression of what our Lord went away for and received, "sitting down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." to return—at His second coming. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:9-27

J. The recipients of salvation 18:9-19:27Luke next developed the idea of faith on the earth that Jesus introduced in Luke 18:8. This whole section clarifies how people become believers. This subject is a fitting conclusion to the part of Luke’s Gospel that deals with Jesus’ ministry on the way to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:27). Essentially this section records Jesus’ teaching that salvation and eventual entrance into the kingdom come by God’s grace through faith rather than by claims to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:11-27

7. The parable of the minas 19:11-27This parable serves in Luke’s narrative as a conclusion to the section on salvation’s recipients (Luke 18:9 to Luke 19:27). It provides something of a denouement (i.e., a final unraveling of the plot) following the excellent example of Zaccheus’ faith and the summary statement describing Jesus’ ministry. In this teaching to the people who were observing his meal with the tax collector, Jesus taught several important lessons. He repeated His coming rejection... read more
