Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 19:11-27

5. Jesus in relation to the Sanguine Hopes of His Disciples (Luke 19:11-27)11And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought [or, imagined] that the kingdom of God should 12[was about] immediately appear [to be manifested immediately]. He said therefore, A certain nobleman [εὐγενής] went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom,and to return. 13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 19:11-27

Doing Business for God Luke 19:11-27 In many respects this parable differs from that of the ten talents. In that, the servants are entrusted with different amounts; in this, the same amount is allotted to each. Obviously, the former deals with our powers and opportunities for service, which greatly differ; whereas the latter deals with those ordinary gifts which are common to all, and especially with the gift of salvation. All have the opportunity of using and enjoying the same bestowment of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 19:1-48

Zacchaeus was the last convert but one in the ministry of Jesus. Our Lord's method with him is very revealing. He asked for his hospitality, and after receiving it held an unrecorded conversation with him which resulted in the complete revolution of the man's outlook and his activity. It was in this connection that our Lord uttered that supreme word of His ministry, "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." In close connection He uttered the parable of the pounds.... read more

Men Must Live In The Light Of The Coming Of The Son of Man In His Glory (15:1-19:28). Having established in Section 1 that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the city of David where He was proclaimed ‘Saviour’ and ‘Lord Messiah’; and in Section 2 that as ‘the Son of God’ Jesus had faced His temptations as to what His Messiahship would involve and defeated the Tempter; and that in Section 3 He had proclaimed in parables the secrets of ‘the Kingly Rule of God’; and had in Section 4 taught His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:11-27

The Parable of The Receiving of the Kingdom, the Testing Out of The Servants As To Their Suitability For High Position, and The Fate of Rebels (19:11-27). . We come now to the end of this sixth section of the Gospel. It appropriately ends with the picture of the one who goes away and returns, and the response that he meanwhile expects. That is the theme of the whole section (see introduction to the section), readiness for the coming of the Son of Man. In the parable we have here depicted the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:20-21

“And the other came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I kept laid up in a neckcloth, for I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up that which you do not lay down, and you reap that which you did not sow.’ ” But one of the servants came who, on receiving the mina, had begrudged doing what the King wanted. However, he did not dare tell the King that, so he pretended that he had been terrified of losing it because of what the King might do. He informed him that he... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:11-27

Luke 19:11-Daniel : . Parable of the Talents ( Matthew 25:14-Amos : *).— There are some differences in the two versions. In Lk. the “ man” of Mt. becomes a prince who (like the sons of Herod the Great) journeys (to Rome) to have his title and dominions confirmed. So Jesus departs to heaven to be invested with the Messianic Kingdom. All the servants (ten in number) receive the same endowment (contrast Mt.), a “ pound” (“ mina,” 100 drachmae, say £ 3, 15s.; Mt.’ s “ talent” was worth 60 minæ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 19:12-27

The parable of the talents, which we had, Matthew 25:14-30, is of great cognation to this parable, and the doctrine of it in many things is the very same; but the circumstances of that and this relation are so differing, as I cannot think that both Matthew and Luke relate to the same time. I know nothing that hinders, but that our Saviour might twice repeat a parable which in substance is the same. Not to insist upon the examination of the words used in the Greek, (which is a work fit only for... read more

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 19:11. He added.—This parable is thus distinctly connected with the words spoken in the house of Zacchæus. It is, therefore, not to be confused with the parable of the Talents, from which it differs in structure and incidents, and which was spoken in Jerusalem. “The main differences between the two parables may be stated thus: 1. That of the Talents tells us the simple story of the committal of certain sums of money to individuals, and of the use made by each of the sum... read more

Luke 19:20-26 "To him that hath shall be given.". I. The excuse of the slothful servant is the excuse of all lazy people. They cry themselves down lest they should be called upon to work; they avoid the duties of life till the world forgets to ask them to fulfil their duties, though God does not forget. They glide through a useless existence to a forgotten death, having buried themselves before they are buried by man, and they think that their sloth shall be continued beyond the grave that they... read more
