Mateus 25:28-29 NVT

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:28

Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath ten talents.This is no high-handed case of robbing the poor to enrich the rich. This action on the part of the Lord calls for no indignation. It is God's law that neglected gifts perish while improved gifts multiply, and that law is as inviolate as the law of gravity. The slothful servant invited the loss of his gift when he buried it. None may flout this law with impunity; and, in order for more men to know what the law... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.Dummelow noted that:It is a law of the natural as well as the spiritual world, that the disuse of a faculty finally leads to its complete loss, whereas the due use of it leads to its development and increase.[9]A much more severe... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 25:28-29

Matthew 25:28-29. Take therefore the talent from him— Thus Christ will strip graceless persons, whether ministers or people, of all the good things he bestowed upon them; and will confer signal blessings on them who are eminently faithful and diligent in the exercise of their gifts and graces, for his glory, and the good of his church. By having, Mat 25:29 is meant improving, or making a right use of a thing. See ch. Matthew 13:10-13. A man is said not to have what he does not make use of:... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 25:3-46

VI. THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATION AND REJECTION OF THE KING 19:3-25:46This section of the Gospel continues Jesus’ instruction of His disciples in preparation for their future (Matthew 19:3 to Matthew 20:34). Then Jesus presented Himself formally to Israel as her King with His triumphal entry (Matthew 21:1-17). This resulted in strong rejection by Israel’s leaders (Matthew 21:18 to Matthew 22:46). Consequently Jesus pronounced His rejection of Israel (ch. 23). Finally He revealed to His disciples... read more

The parable of the talents 25:14-30The other important quality that will make a servant blessed when Jesus returns, in addition to prudence, is faithfulness (cf. Matthew 24:45-46). This parable explains what Jesus regards as faithfulness. Essentially it involves using what God has entrusted to one to advance His interests in the world. It involves making a spiritual profit with the deposit God has entrusted to each disciple (cf. James 2:14-26). The parable of the ten virgins speaks of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 25:28-30

Rather than giving this servant increased responsibility, the master took back the talent he had entrusted to him. Rather than blessing him with the joy of fellowship with the master, the slave had to depart from his master’s presence. Matthew 25:29 expresses a kingdom principle that Jesus had formerly explained (Matthew 13:12; cf. Matthew 21:43). The master removed the slave’s opportunity to serve him further. He declared him "worthless" (Matthew 25:30) because he had failed to do his master’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:1-46

The Ten Viegins. The Talents. The Sheep and the GoatsThe whole of this a, which is entirely concerned with the Second Advent, and contains some of the most striking of all Christ’s sayings, is peculiar to St. Matthew.1-13. Parable of the Ten Virgins. Professing Christians, who alone are addressed here, are warned of the absolute need of sufficient oil, i.e. of sufficient depth and reality in the spiritual life, if they are to be admitted into Christ’s kingdom hereafter. Unless the life of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 25:28

(28) Take therefore the talent from him.—The sentence passed on the slothful servant confirms the view which sees in the “talents” the external opportunities given to a man for the use of his abilities. The abilities themselves cannot be thus transferred; the opportunities can, and often are, even in the approximate working out of the law of retribution which we observe on earth. Here also men give to him that hath, and faithful work is rewarded by openings for work of a higher kind. So,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 25:29

(29) Unto every one that hath.—The meaning and practical working of the law thus stated have been sufficiently illustrated in the Note on Matthew 25:28. What is noteworthy here is the extreme generality with which the law is stated. Analogies of that law are, it need even scarcely be said, to be found both in nature and in human society. Non-user tends to invalidate legal right. A muscle that is not exercised tends to degenerate and lose its power. read more
