How preachers through history handled this text
32 public-domain excerpts on Luke 19, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“This parable is like that of the talents, Mt 25. Those that are called to Christ, he furnishes with gifts needful for their business; and from those to whom he gives power, he expects service. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal, 1Co 12:7. And as every one has received the gift, so let him minister the same, 1Pe 4:10. The account required, resembles that in the parable of the talents; and the punishment of the avowed enemies of Christ, as well as of false professors, is shown. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 19:11–27 (Public Domain)
