FOURTH SECTIONTHE FINAL JUDGMENT AS RETRIBUTION ON INDIVIDUALS. THIRD PICTURE OF THE JUDGMENT. [THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS]Matthew 25:14-3014For the kingdom of heaven is [he is] 30 as a man travelling into a far country [going abroad, ἀνθρ. ἀποδημῶν], who [. He] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability [his own ability, κατὰ τὴν ἰδίαν δύναμιν]; and... 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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:18

“But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.” But the one who received the one talent, which did not after all require all that much of him, although it was still a useful sum (it was beyond most people’s dreams), went away, and instead of making use of what had been entrusted to him he buried it in the earth. Burial was a recognised way of keeping treasures safe in those days. He was just doing what many people did. But the point is that he was... read more

Arthur Peake

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 25:16-18

This part in the parable only showeth the different use that men and women make of those gifts, whether of common providence or of grace, especially common grace, which the Lord bestowed on them. Some make a great use of them for the profit of their Master, for the end for which God entrusted them with them, to wit the glory of his holy name, and the salvation of their souls. Others make no use at all of them for those ends. read more

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 25:14. For the kingdom of heaven, etc.—See R.V. Servants.—Slaves. Delivered unto them his goods.—The outward framework of the parable lies in the Eastern way of dealing with property in the absence of the owner. Two courses were open as an approximation to what we call investment. The more primitive and patriarchal way was for the absentee to make his slaves his agents. They were to till his land and sell the produce, or to use the money which he left with them as capital... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:14-30

Matthew 25:14-30 In the case of the unprofitable servant as it emerges in the latter portion of the parable, three points demand our attention separately and successively the Reason, the Nature, and the Reward of his unfaithfulness. I. The reason of his unfaithfulness, as explained by himself is, "I knew thee that thou art an hard man," etc. The parable represents at once, with rich personal effect and strict logical exactness, the legal relation of sinful men to a righteous God, apart from... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:16-21

Matthew 25:16-21 The Servants at Work. I. It is the great law of labour which the Gospel affirms here, in the example of those two men doubling the talents they had received. The first gift of God is multiplied in their skilful and faithful hands. What is the nature of the labour of the industry of these faithful servants? Must we understand by it simply putting into activity natural gifts, physical strength, the intellect, the material resources which each man brings into this world? And did... read more
