Commentary

Commentary on Luke 19:26

Theological / Devotional

Unto every one. For comment on the principle here stated in the form of a paradox see on Matt. 13:12 ; 25:27. This is the nobleman’s explanation of his reason for giving the unimproved “pound” to the man who already had more than any of his fellow servants.

Taken away from him. Here the lazy servant is simply deprived of the capital that had been entrusted to him. His counterpart in the parable of the Talents was severely punished as well (see on Matt. 25:30).
