Context of Luke 19:26

24Some other servants were standing near to their master. He said to them, “Take the money from this bad servant. Give it to the servant that has ten pounds.” 25“But, master,” they replied, “that servant has ten pounds already.” “Let me tell you this,” the king said. “Some people have received good things. They will all receive more. Some other people have nothing. Those people will lose even the little bit that they do have. 27Now I must punish these other people that did not want me to rule over them. Bring them here and kill them in front of me.” ’ 28When Jesus had said all this, he went on in front of them. He was going towards Jerusalem.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-27Verses 11-27 This parable is like that of the talents, Mt 25.

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.
