Lucas 19:25

25 Y ellos le dijeron: "Señor, él ya tiene diez minas."

Lucas 19:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:25

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.

Lucas 19:25 In-Context

23 "Entonces, ¿por qué no pusiste mi dinero en el banco, y al volver yo, lo hubiera recibido con los intereses?"

24 Y dijo a los que estaban presentes: "Quitadle la mina y dádsela al que tiene las diez minas."

25 Y ellos le dijeron: "Señor, él ya tiene diez minas."

26 Os digo, que a cualquiera que tiene, más le será dado, pero al que no tiene, aun lo que tiene se le quitará.

27 Pero a estos mis enemigos, que no querían que reinara sobre ellos, traedlos acá y matadlos delante de mí.
