Luca 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 ) .

Luca 19:19 In-Context

17 Ed egli gli disse: Bene sta, buon servitore; perciocchè tu sei stato leale in cosa minima, abbi podestà sopra dieci città.
18 Poi venne il secondo, dicendo: Signore, la tua mina ne ha guadagnate cinque.
19 Ed egli disse ancora a costui: E tu sii sopra cinque città.
20 Poi ne venne un altro, che disse: Signore, ecco la tua mina, la quale io ho tenuta riposta in uno sciugatoio.
21 Perciocchè io ho avuto tema di te, perchè tu sei uomo aspro, e togli ciò che non hai messo, e mieti ciò che non hai seminato.
