Lucas 19:25

25 Y ellos le dijeron: Señor, 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 ¿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

26 Pues yo os digo que a cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado; mas al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado

27 Y también a aquellos mis enemigos que no querían que yo reinara sobre ellos, traedlos acá, y degolladlos delante de mí
