Contextual Overview

11 And as they hearde these thynges, he added & spake a parable, because he was nye to Hierusale, & because they thought that the kingdome of God should shortly appeare. 12 He sayde therfore: A certayne noble man went into a farre countrey, to receaue for hym selfe a kyngdome, and to come agayne. 13 And he called his ten seruauntes, & deliuered the ten peeces of money, saying vnto them, Occupie tyl I come. 14 But his citezins hated hym, and sent a message after hym, saying: We wyll not haue this man to raigne ouer vs. 15 And it came to passe, that whe he had receaued his kyngdome and returned, he commaunded these seruauntes to be called vnto him, to whom he had geuen the money, to wyt howe muche euery man had done in occupying. 16 Then came the first, saying: Lorde thy peece hath gayned ten peeces. 17 And he sayde vnto hym: Well thou good seruaunt, because thou hast ben faythfull in a very litle thing, haue thou aucthoritie ouer ten cities. 18 And the seconde came, saying: Thy peece hath encreased fiue peeces. 19 And to the same he sayde, be thou also ruler ouer fyue cities. 20 And another came, saying: Lorde beholde here is thy peece, whiche I haue layed vp in a napkin.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Wherefore: Romans 2:4, Romans 2:5

usury: Exodus 22:25-27, Deuteronomy 23:19, Deuteronomy 23:20

Reciprocal: Matthew 25:27 - oughtest Luke 15:31 - General Luke 19:15 - money

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,.... Or "on the table", at which the bankers sat, and received and delivered money on interest. The Complutensian edition reads, "to the tablers", or "bankers": had Christ been such a person as he represents him, he ought to have been the more diligent, and made the greater use of his gifts, since he knew that he would, in a rigid manner, as he suggests, demand an account of them:

that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? not that Christ approves of usury in an unlawful way, by extortion, but reproves hereby the sloth of this man, and exposes his folly and wickedness upon his own principles.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The bank - The treasury, or the place of exchange. Why did you not loan it out, that it might be increased?

Usury - Interest.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 19:23. With usury? — συν τοκω, With its produce, i.e. what the loan of the money is fairly worth, after paying the person sufficiently for using it: for, in lent money, both the lender and borrower are supposed to reap profit.
