Lucas 19:23

Listen to Lucas 19:23
23 "Entonces, ¿por qué no pusiste mi dinero en el banco, y al volver yo, lo hubiera recibido con los intereses?"

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.
