Lukas 19:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:18

And the second came
He who was next, though less useful, yet equally diligent and active:

saying, Lord;
acknowledging also the power and authority of Christ over him:

thy pound hath gained five pounds;
is increased fivefold, or is turned to a fivefold account, to the interest of Christ, and good of immortal souls: the usefulness of the ministers of the Gospel is not alike; as they have gifts different one from another, so their improvements are different, and their labours, though faithful, do not turn to the same account,

Lukas 19:18 In-Context

17 Yafeh! Eved tov! Because you have been ne’eman (faithful) in a very small thing, have shlita (authority) over ten towns.[MISHLE 27:18]

18 And the sheni (second) came saying, Your mina, Adoni, made five minas.

19 And the man of noble birth said also to this one, And you have shlita (authority) over five towns.
