Matteo 25:28

Listen to Matteo 25:28
28 Toglietegli adunque il talento, e datelo a colui che ha i dieci talenti.

Matteo 25:28 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 25:28

Take therefore the talent from him
This shows it was not special grace, which is intended by the talent; for the gift and calling of special grace are without repentance, and are that good part which shall not be taken away: but gifts may fail, cease, and vanish; they may be taken away from men, and men from them; a right arm may be clean dried up, and a right eye be utterly darkened:

and give it unto him which hath ten talents;
for to diligent and laborious ministers of the word, more spiritual light and knowledge is given: but this is not to be understood, as though other men's gifts are, properly speaking, taken away from them, and bestowed on them; but that their gifts appear the more illustrious through the slothfulness of others.

Matteo 25:28 In-Context

26 E il suo signore, rispondendo, gli disse: Malvagio e negligente servitore, tu sapevi che io mieto ove non ho seminato e ricolgo ove non ho sparso;
27 perciò ei ti si conveniva mettere i miei danari in man di banchieri; e quando io sarei venuto, avrei riscosso il mio con frutto.
28 Toglietegli adunque il talento, e datelo a colui che ha i dieci talenti.
29 Perciocchè, a chiunque ha, sarà dato, ed egli soprabbonderà; ma chi non ha, eziandio quel ch’egli ha, gli sarà tolto.
30 E cacciate il servitor disutile nelle tenebre di fuori. Ivi sarà il pianto, e lo stridor de’ denti.
