This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 19:13. Δέκα, ten) To the several servants a pound[206] a-piece.-πραγματεύσασθε, trade with this [Engl. Ver. occupy]) This commandment accords in sense with that noted one, γίνεσθε καλοὶ τραπεζῖται, be good bankers (Make the most of your money).-ἔρχομαι, I come) “I come,” He says; not, “I return.” The second Advent is much the more solemn [more attended with outward state and majesty] of the two. [Therefore the first Advent is so eclipsed by the second, that the latter is not called His return, but His coming.]

[206] Mina, strictly L.4, Is. 3d. in Attic coinage.-E. and T.
