Verses 11-27
Parable of the Pounds, Luke 19:11-27.
From the front door of Zaccheus’s house we seem to trace the Lord’s course into the court, preceded by Zaccheus, and followed by the press (Luke 19:3) or crowd, who were in a high state of excitement at the expectation that Jesus was proceeding to Jerusalem for the purpose of assuming the glorious Messianic kingdom. (See on Luke 19:7.) Our Lord, therefore, in the following parable teaches them that, so far from erecting a kingdom now at Jerusalem, Jerusalem is to be but his point of departure to a far country, namely, to his Father in heaven. By him being invested with a divine royalty, he would return to a day of final judgment, and administer retribution.
