Mateo 25:28

28 Quitadle pues el talento, y dadlo al que tiene diez talentos

Mateo 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.

Mateo 25:28 In-Context

26 Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Siervo malo y negligente, sabías que siego donde no sembré y que recojo donde no esparcí

27 por tanto, te convenía dar mi dinero a los banqueros, y viniendo yo, hubiera recibido lo que es mío con logro

28 Quitadle pues el talento, y dadlo al que tiene diez talentos

29 Porque a cualquiera que tuviere, le será dado, y tendrá más; y al que no tuviere, aun lo que tiene le será quitado

30 Y al siervo inútil echadle en las tinieblas de afuera; allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes
