Contextual Overview

11 As the crowd listened to what he was saying, Jesus went on to tell a story. He was now near Jerusalem and knew that the people thought it was almost time for God's kingdom to come. 12 So he said, "A very important man was preparing to go to a country far away to be made a king. Then he planned to return home and rule his people. 13 So he called ten of his servants together. He gave a bag of money to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money until I come back.' 14 But the people in the kingdom hated the man. They sent a group to follow him to the other country. There they said, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.' 15 "But the man was made king. When he came home, he said, ‘Call those servants who have my money. I want to know how much more money they earned with it.' 16 The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, I earned ten bags of money with the one bag you gave me.' 17 The king said to him, ‘That's great! You are a good servant. I see that I can trust you with small things. So now I will let you rule over ten of my cities.' 18 "The second servant said, ‘Sir, with your one bag of money I earned five bags.' 19 The king said to this servant, ‘You can rule over five cities.' 20 "Then another servant came in and said to the king, ‘Sir, here is your bag of money. I wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hid it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said unto them that stood by,.... The angels, it may be; though this may not be strictly taken, as if any persons, angels, or men, will be employed in what follows, only that it will be done, or may be expected:

take from him the pound; which shows, that it was not special grace, for that is a good part that shall never be taken away, but gifts which may be taken away from men, or they from them:

and give it to him that hath ten pounds; not that, strictly speaking, the gifts of some men are taken from them and bestowed on others; but the design of the expression is to show, that to diligent and laborious ministers, there is an increase of gifts; their knowledge enlarges, and their light shines more and more to the perfect day, and they become more useful; and they appear brighter, and more illustrious, through the sloth of others, or when compared with indolent, negligent, and useless ministers.
