Read Luke 19.11-27. In verse 11: The approach to Jerusalem anticipates a crisis in Jesus' royal role (see 19.27-47). In verse 13: The pound is not a large amount, perhaps $20, but these funds were entrusted to the servants. In verses 14, 27: The animosity of the citizens and their eventual punishment are recounted only in Luke's version of the story (see Mk 13.3; Mat 25.14-30; but see also Lk 20.19). In verse 22: On the harsh master, see 17.7-10. These images fit the way many oriental rulers and master behaved (20.16). Will God do the same (Acts 2.36-39)? Comments or Questions..
