Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 25:16-17

The two who had received most employed their money in trade, and by honest industry doubled it before their master returned, representing the conduct of those who make a good improvement of their abilities, and employ them in doing good. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:14-15

Matthew 25:14-15. For, &c. To show us more clearly the nature and duty of Christian watchfulness, to which he exhorts us in the preceding verse, our Saviour immediately subjoins another parable, wherein he represents to us the different characters of a faithful and slothful servant, and the difference of their future acceptation. Like the former, the present parable is intended to stir us up to a zealous preparation for the coming of our Lord, by diligence in the discharge of our duty,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:16-18

Matthew 25:16-18. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded, &c. Thus the servants of Christ should consider the gifts or talents which they have received, whether by nature or by grace, as being intrusted with them for the sole end of their serving God and their generation with the use of them; and made them other five talents Thus he who endeavours to use the gifts of God according to the design of the giver, is sure to find them increased; and that both because the... 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 25:14

For it is as when a man, going into another country, calleth his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.Christ has entered into that upper and better country, but he has delivered unto each one of his disciples certain talents and abilities, along with responsibility for the due exercise of them. The proper ownership of all things is the Lord's, since both the servants and the goods they received were his. A glance at John 14:1-3 and Hebrews 9:23-28 will show that Christ has gone into... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:15

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.The true standard for distribution of wealth is not, as expressed by the Marxist view, "to each according to his need," but rather to each "according to his ability." The reason lies in the fact that without ability, even that which a man receives shall be wasted, neglected, or diminished, and in the law of economic progress there can never be, in the final... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:16

Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. In like manner he also that received the two gained other two. But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.A remarkable difference in this and the parable of the virgins is seen in the fact that, whereas they WAITED for the Lord's appearing, these servants were... read more
