Contextual Overview

¹¹ Matthew 25:14-30">[xr] Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. ¹² Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. ¹³ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, [fn] and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' ¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, "We will not have this man to reign over us.' ¹⁵ "And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. ¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, "Master, your mina has earned ten minas.' ¹⁷ And he said to him, "Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' ¹⁸ And the second came, saying, "Master, your mina has earned five minas.' ¹⁹ Likewise he said to him, "You also be over five cities.' ²⁰ "Then another came, saying, "Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they said unto him,.... The bystanders;

Lord, he hath ten pounds; which they say either through envy, at his superior gifts, and usefulness; for it is generally the lot of the most eminent and useful servants of Christ to be envied by others; or in surprise, as wondering at the conduct of Christ in giving more to such, who had so much already. The Ethiopic version reads the words by way of interrogation, "hath he not ten pounds?" is not that enough? why should he have more? This verse is left out in Beza's most ancient copy. However, it is rightly put into a parenthesis in our version; for the following verse is strictly connected with Luke 19:24 and contains a reason of what is there ordered.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And they said unto him - Those standing around him said.

He hath ... - This was probably an observation made by some of the bystanders, as if surprised at such a decision. “He has already ten pounds. Why take away this one, and add to what he already possesses? Why should his property be increased at the expense of this man, who has but one pound?” The answer to this is given in the following verse; that every one that hath, to him shall be given; every man who is faithful, and improves what God gives him, shall receive much more.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 25. And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. — This whole verse is omitted by the Codex Bezae, a few others, and some copies of the Itala. It is probably an observation that some person made while our Lord was delivering the parable, with a design to correct him in the distribution: as if he had said, "Why give the mina to that person? he has got ten already; give it to one of those who has fewer."
