Lucas 19:23

23 ¿por qué, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo recibiera con el logro

Lucas 19:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:23

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,
&c.] 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.

Lucas 19:23 In-Context

21 porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres hombre recio; tomas lo que no pusiste, y siegas lo que no sembraste

22 Entonces él le dijo: Mal siervo, de tu boca te juzgo. Sabías que yo era hombre recio, que quito lo que no puse, y que siego lo que no sembré

23 ¿por qué, no diste mi dinero al banco, y yo viniendo lo recibiera con el logro

24 Y dijo a los que estaban presentes: Quitadle la mina, y dadla al que tiene las diez minas

25 Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, tiene diez minas
