Contextual Overview
11 As they heard these things, Jesus told them a picture-story. Because He was near Jerusalem, they thought the holy nation of God would come at once. 12 So Jesus said, "A leader of a country went to another country far away. A nation was to be given to him, then he would return home. 13 He called ten of the servants he owned. He gave them ten pieces of money and said to them, ‘Put this money to use until I return.' 14 But other men in his country hated him. They sent men after him to tell him they did not want him as their king. 15 After he had been given the other nation, he returned as king. He asked for his servants who had received the money to come to him. He wanted to know how much more they had after putting it to use. 16 The first one came and said, ‘Lord, the piece of money you gave me has made ten more pieces of money.' 17 He said to him, ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful in using a little. Now you will be leader over ten cities.' 18 "The second man came to him and said, ‘Lord, the piece of money you gave me has made five more pieces of money.' 19 He said to him, ‘You are to be leader over five cities.' 20 "Another one came saying, ‘Lord, look! Here is your piece of money. I have kept it hid in a piece of cloth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For I say unto you,.... And it may be depended on as truth, and what will be found matter of fact:
that unto every one that hath, shall be given; greater and larger gifts, fitting him for greater usefulness: he that has gifts, and makes use of them, increases in them; they enlarge with their use, and become brighter, and he more useful. The Vulgate Latin version adds, "and he shall abound, or shall have abundance", as in
Matthew 25:29
and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him: that is, that which he seemed to have, or thought he had, as in Luke 8:18 for from him that has really nothing, nothing can be taken away: though the sense may be, that he that does not use the talent, or exercise the gift bestowed on him, but lays it up in a napkin, which is all one as if he had it not, even the gift itself shall be taken away from him; and as others receive no benefit by it, he shall receive no honour from it; Luke 8:18- : and
Luke 8:18- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For I say ... - These are the words of the “nobleman” declaring the principles on which he would distribute the rewards of his kingdom.
But those mine enemies - By the punishment of those who would not that he should reign over them is denoted the ruin that was to come upon the Jewish nation for rejecting the Messiah, and also upon all sinners for not receiving him as their king. See the notes at the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:0.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 26. And from him that hath not — See this particularly explained Matthew 13:12. Perhaps it would be well, with Bishop PEARCE, to supply the word gained-give it to him who hath gained ten minas; for I say unto you, That unto every one who hath gained shall be given; and, from him who hath not gained, even that which he hath received, shall be taken away.
