Because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.' 18 "The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.' 19 "He said to him also, 'You also are to be over five cities.' 20 Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he saith unto him,.... By way of reply to his vile slander, and unrighteous charge;
out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant; as he might be justly called: he was not only a wicked man, as all men are, even enemies by wicked works, and lie in wickedness; and a wicked professor of religion, as there be some; but a wicked minister, and that not on account of his bad principles, and sinful life and conversation, but for his sloth and negligence, and the wrong thoughts he entertained of, and the false charges he brought against Christ; and Christ turns his own argument upon him, and by his own words condemns him:
thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow; not allowing this, but supposing it was as he said; then Christ argues as follows, for his conviction.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Out of thine own mouth - By your own statement, or your own views of my character. If you âknewâ that this was my character, and âknewâ that I would be rigid, firm, and even severe, it would have been the part of wisdom in you to have made the best use of the money in your power; but as you âknewâ my character beforehand, and was well acquainted with the fact that I should demand a strict compliance with your obligation, you have no right to complain if you are condemned accordingly. We are not to suppose that God is âunjust or austere;â but what we are to learn from this is, that as people know that God will be âjust,â and will call them to a strict account in the day of judgment, they ought to be prepared to meet him, and that they cannot then complain if God should condemn them.
