マタイによる福音書 25:21 JC

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 25:1-99

Matthew 25 THE PARABLE OF the ten virgins opens this chapter. This world presents a very tangled scene in every direction. The coming of the Lord is going to produce a thorough disentanglement. We have already seen this in the parables of the wheat and the tares, and that of the net cast into the sea, in Matthew 13.0 , and again in the verses we have just considered at the close of Matthew 24.0 . The same great fact meets us again in this fresh similitude of the kingdom of heaven. The Lord had... read more

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou. good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 25:14-30

by Faithfulness Win Reward Matthew 25:14-30 We are not only guests, but servants, who must give an account of their stewardship. Each bond slave has been entrusted with at least one talent. The number of talents varies with our ability to manage them. The Master is not unreasonable, and never overtasks. It is by use that the power to use grows. By carefully employing our opportunities, our sphere of service may be greatly widened, so that, at the end of life, we shall be able to do twice as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 25:1-46

"Then." This gives us the time in which the Kingdom of Heaven will be likened unto ten virgins. That Kingdom passes through many phases, but just before the coming of the King this will be its character. Note especially that the ten virgins are required to give a correct idea of the Kingdom. Again, to interpret the next parable rightly, we must remember it concerns the servants of the King. He has not committed His goods to rebels, but to His own. To apply this parable to all men is to... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 25:21

FOUND FAITHFUL‘His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.’ Matthew 25:21 What we must learn from the saints is to persevere to the end in our struggle. The moral splendour of sanctity is wrapped up in faithfulness; that is the achievement of the saints. That may be yours. Faithfulness is so practical. I. Faithful to conscience.—The still small voice... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:14-30

The Parable of the Talents (25:14-30). In this third of three major parables on the need to be ready for His coming Jesus likens Himself to a man who goes to another country and hands over control of all that He has to servants so that they can look after His affairs. Two of them do well and double what He gives them. They receive His “well done!” But one makes no use of what he is given and buries it in the ground in order to keep it safe. When called on to give account he admits that he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:21

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ ” And he thus received his Lord’s commendation of ‘well done, good and faithful servant’ (or ‘it is well, good and faithful servant’). Note the description. He was like the faithful and wise servant of Matthew 24:45. For this is what the Lord requires of all of us. Faithfulness, goodness and commonsense. The result is that he... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:14-30

Matthew 25:14-Amos : . The Parable of the Talents ( cf. Luke 19:11-Daniel :).— There is also a resemblance to Mark 13:33-Haggai :, especially Matthew 25:34. Loisy thinks this parable had originally no reference to the Parousia and the Judgment, but was simply meant to show that reward in the Kingdom of Heaven is proportionate to merit. As it stands, however, it is akin to the preceding parable of the bridesmaids. Though the Parousia be long delayed ( Matthew 25:19) it will surely come, and... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 25:20-23

This part of the parable teacheth us only these things: 1. That some persons in this world make a very good use and improvement of those gifts and good things which God hath entrusted them with, according to the measure with which God hath entrusted them. 2. That those who do so shall in the day of judgment have a liberal reward in the kingdom of glory, called here the joy of their Lord. That God doth not expect an equality of service from all, but a service proportionable to those gifts which... read more
