Contextual Overview

11 And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth. 12 He said, therefore - A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them - Do business, till I come. 14 But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying - We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us! 15 And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done. 16 And the first came near, saying - Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas. 17 And he said to him - Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying - Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas. 19 And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities. 20 And, the other, came, saying - Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;

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.
