路加福音 19:16-18 CUNPSS

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:16

Luke 19:16. Thy pound* hath gained ten pounds.— The modesty of these servants is remarkable: they do not say, that, they themselves have gained the ten or five pounds, but Thy pound hath gained, &c. attributing their success, not to themselves, but to the gifts of his grace. It is observable, that in Matthew 25:20; Mat 25:46 where the servants are represented as doubling the different sums intrusted to each, the reward is spoken of as the same: but here the sum intrusted being the same, and... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:16-17

The first servant reported a 1,000 percent return on the master’s investment. This report earned the master’s praise and a great reward. The servant had faithfully fulfilled his responsibility. The master considered what the servant had received in trust as a very little thing. His reward consisted of authority over ten cities in the future and was great compared to what the servant had received to invest. In view of the time of this judgment the reward would apply to the messianic kingdom that... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 19:18-19

The second servant had also been faithful, but he had only earned a 500 percent return on the master’s investment. He did not receive as much commendation as the first servant or as much reward, but his reward was also proportionate to his service. This shows that rewards will vary depending on a servant’s effectiveness."The reward is not rest, but the opportunity for wider service." [Note: Morris, p. 275.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:1-48

Zacceleus. The Pounds. Christ’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. He Cleanses the Temple1-10. Zacchaeus (peculiar to Lk). The narrative shows that our Lord’s familiar intercourse with publicans and sinners was justified by its results. Zacchaeus became a convert, surrendered half of his great wealth to the poor, and made restitution for his past misdeeds2. The chief] RV ’a chief publican.’ ’There must have been at Jericho one of the principal custom-houses, both on account of the exportation of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:16

(16) Thy pound hath gained ten pounds.—The increase is on a larger scale than in the parable in Matthew 25:0. There each of the faithful servants gains as much again as he had received. Here the gain is tenfold (1,000 per cent.). Adopting the view which has been taken of the distinctive ideas of the two parables, it may be said that what is suggested is the almost boundless opening for good acquired by the simple acceptance of the truth, apart from the opportunities offered by special gifts and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 19:17

(17) Because thou hast been faithful in a very little.—More literally, because thou didst become faithful. The words are in their substance like those in St. Matthew, but their absolute identity with those in the lesson drawn from the parable of the Unjust Steward (see Note on Luke 16:10) is every way suggestive. This parable is connected with that as its natural sequel and development.Have thou authority over ten cities.—The truth implied in Matthew 25:21 (where see Note), that the reward of... read more

Zaccheus: The Advantage of Disadvantages Luke 19:2-3 It was in Jericho a place that had a bad name and has, I believe to this day. Of all men in the city that were spoken against and detested by every citizen of Jericho, probably Zaccheus stood first. To be a publican was bad enough. To be the chief of the publicans was worse still. And to have got rich at it completed the offence. The publican was the representative of foreign power that these proud people could not but detest the collector... read more

CHAPTER 19 CHAPTER 19:1-27 1. The Salvation of Zacchaeus. (Luke 19:1-10 ) 2. The Parable of the Ten Pounds. (Luke 19:11-27 .) Luke 19:1-10 When He drew near to Jericho the Lord healed the blind beggar. The reader will find hints on the meaning of this miracle in the annotations of the Gospel of Mark. (Mark 10:46-52 .) The story of Zacchaeus is not found in the other Synoptics. The Lord is now in Jericho. Zacchaeus (meaning: clean) was the chief tax-gatherer and a rich man. “He sought to... read more
