This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_25:26 f. The master chastises the worthless and indolent (Rom_12:11) servant with his own weapons.
ᾔδεις , κ . τ . λ .] question of astonishment, which is more spirited and more in keeping with the surprising nature of the excuse than to understand the words in a conceding sense (Kuinoel, de Wette), or as an independent hypothesis (Bernhardy, p. 385), in which case the οὖν of the apodosis would be deprived of its force (see Hartung, Partikell. II. p. 22 f.; Klotz, ad Devar. p. 718 f.).
βαλεῖν … τοῖς τραπεζ .] flinging down upon the table of the money-changers, represents the indifference of the proceeding.
ἐγώ ] is emphatic as related to the preceding ἴδε , ἔχεις τὸ σόν , Mat_25:25. To it likewise corresponds τὸ ἐμόν , to which, however, σὺν τόκῳ is now added for sake of emphasis.
