This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 19:11. Προσθεὶς εἶπε, He added and spake) Therefore the parable which follows has a most close connection with the preceding incidents; as also with what follows, Luk 19:28.-δοκεῖ, on account of their thinking) The Hebrews think that the Messiah will collect together in Galilee the brethren scattered in the world, and will lead them to the city of Jerusalem, as the seat of His kingdom: that He will thus commence His reign, and will much frequent the Mount of Olives. The aspect of things at that time was not unlike this. [Nor was their opinion erroneous in itself; but they formed their conception of the event rather out of the due season for it.-V. p.] The Lord teaches them the true judgment which they ought to form. See Luk 19:27; Luk 19:41.-ἀναφαίνεσθαι, to make its appearance) in a manifest and visible manner on earth and in the city, and this without the agency of human power.
