Luc 19:19 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:19

And he said likewise to him
He commended him as a good and faithful servant, though this is not expressed; and added,

be thou over five cities;
which does not denote any inequality of glory in Christ's ministers, who will all shine as the firmament, and as the stars for ever and ever; at least, there will be no inequality in the ultimate state of happiness, when all the saints shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, whatever there may be in the kingdom state, or in Christ's personal reign with his saints on earth. The above learned writer would have this passage compared with ( Isaiah 19:18 ) .

Luc 19:19 In-Context

17 Il lui dit: C'est bien, bon serviteur; parce que tu as été fidèle en peu de chose, reçois le gouvernement de dix villes.

18 Le second vint, et dit: Seigneur, ta mine a produit cinq mines.

19 Il lui dit: Toi aussi, sois établi sur cinq villes.

20 Un autre vint, et dit: Seigneur, voici ta mine, que j'ai gardée dans un linge;

21 car j'avais peur de toi, parce que tu es un homme sévère; tu prends ce que tu n'as pas déposé, et tu moissonnes ce que tu n'as pas semé.
