The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 25:19

After a long time . The interval between Christ's ascension and his second advent ( Matthew 25:5 ) is long in men's view, though Christ can say, "Lo , I come quickly" ( Revelation 3:11 , etc.). And reckoneth with them ( Matthew 18:23 ). The opportunity of labouring for Christ in the earthly life is ended at death; but the reckoning is reserved for the parousia—the coming of the Lord. The matter in the parable is concerned with the past actions of the servants of Christ ( Matthew... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 25:20

He that had received [ the ] five talents . The slaves appear in the same order as they had come to receive the deposits. The first comes joyfully, showing boldness in his day of judgment ( 1 John 2:17 ), because he has dealt faithfully and diligently, and prospered in his labours. Thou deliveredst unto me. He rightly acknowledges that all he had came from his lord, and that it was his duty and his pleasure to increase the deposit for his master's benefit. The long delay had not made... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:19-20

Matthew 25:19-20. After a long time Namely, of trial and long-suffering, and at an hour when they thought not of it; the lord of those servants cometh Returned and summoned them to give an account of their several trusts. Thus, though the heavens have received the Lord Jesus till the time of the restitution of all things, he will surely come and reckon with his servants, and require of them a strict account of the use which they have made of their privileges and advantages, gifts and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:14-30

134. The three employees (Matthew 25:14-30)In the second story, a businessman who went away on a journey left his business in the care of three trusted employees. He gave money to the three men, the amounts they received varying according to their business abilities. Two of the men worked well and made good profits, but the third was lazy and did nothing (Matthew 25:14-18).When the owner returned, he was pleased to see that the first two men had worked well, and he rewarded them by giving them... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:20

And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.It is of vast significance that the "reckoning" with the servants was upon an individual basis and that no group appraisal of their efforts was allowed.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 25:19

19. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them—That any one—within the lifetime of the apostles at least—with such words before them, should think that Jesus had given any reason to expect His Second Appearing within that period, would seem strange, did we not know the tendency of enthusiastic, ill-regulated love of His appearing ever to take this turn. read more
