Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 19:13

Luke 19:13. And he called his ten servants This translation implies, he had neither more nor fewer than ten servants, and that they were all called: but Dr. Campbell thinks the original expression, καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου , should rather be rendered, having called ten of his servants, and that if the sense had been as given in our translation, the expression must have been, καλεσας δε τους δεκα δουλους εαυτου . And delivered them ten pounds Before he departed he gave each of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 19:14-15

Luke 19:14-15. But his citizens hated him The natural subjects of this king’s son, (see on Luke 19:12,) “hated him without a cause, as appears from the message which they sent to this potentate, from whom he sought what in latter times has been called investiture. For in that message they alleged no crime against him. But only expressed their ill-will toward him, by declaring that they would not have him to reign over them. This is a fit representation of the causeless opposition which... read more

Luke 19:16-21. Then came the first The modesty of these servants is remarkable. They do not say that they themselves had gained the ten or the five pounds; but that the pound which their lord had intrusted to their management had gained them, attributing their success, not to themselves, but to the gifts of his grace. And he said, Well done, thou good servant The first servant, having been very diligent and successful, was greatly applauded by his Lord, who rewarded him by raising him to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 19:22-23

Luke 19:22-23. And he saith, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, &c. When his lord heard him offer such a vile and groundless charge against him as an excuse for his own negligence, he was filled with indignation, and determined to punish him severely. Thou knewest that I was an austere man This is not an acknowledgment of the vile and detestable charge of “God’s demanding of men,” as Dr. Guise observes, “more difficult services than he has furnished them for, and would assist... read more

Luke 19:24-26. And he said to them that stood by To the officers of justice that waited on the king; Take from him the pound Take what was intrusted with him from that idle, suspicious, unfaithful servant, who might otherwise have had that, and much more, allotted him for his own property; and give it him that has ten pounds As an additional reward for his fidelity and diligence. And they said, Lord, he hath ten pounds They speak this in surprise at his assigning it to one who had... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 19:11-27

115. Parable of the pounds (Luke 19:11-27)As Jesus drew nearer to Jerusalem, those with him became excited, thinking he was about to establish a world-conquering kingdom. Jesus corrected their misunderstanding by telling them a parable (Luke 19:11). He was like a man who was entitled to a kingdom, but who had first to go to the seat of power in a distant country to have his kingdom confirmed, after which he would return to claim it. Before he left for the distant country, he gave an equal... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Luke 19:12

A certain nobleman . This parable is peculiar to Luke. The point of it was that Herod the Great and his son Archelaus ( App-109 ) had actually gone from Jericho (where the parable was spoken; and where the latter had just rebuilt his palace. Josephus, Antiquities xvii. 13,1) to Rome to receive the sovereignty (see Josephus, Antiquities xiv. 14. 3,4; xvii 9 4). Herod Antipas ( App-109 ) subsequently did the same thing (Josephus, Antiquities xviii. 7:2). nobleman = a man ( App-123 .) high... read more
