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.

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.
