Commentary

Commentary on Luke 19:20

Theological / Devotional

Another came. That is, another one of the ten (Luke 19:13; cf. Matt. 25:24).

Here is thy pound. In the parable of the Talents the third servant said, “Thou hast that is thine” (see on Matt. 25:25).

Kept laid up. He had taken good care of the talent entrusted to him; he had neither lost nor squandered it.

Napkin. Gr. soudarion, from the Latin sudarium, from the root sudor, “sweat.” The “napkin” was a sweatcloth or handkerchief of some kind used as part of the personal wardrobe. In the papyri mention is made of a soudarion as part of a bride’s dowry.
