• He commits some of His goods (the gifts of the Spirit) to His servants to trade with during His absence. The difference between this parable and that in the Gospel by Matthew is this: Matthew presents the sovereignty and the wisdom of the giver, who varies His gifts according to the aptitude of His servants; in Luke it is more particularly the responsibility of the servants, who each receive the same sum, and the one gains by it, in his master’s interest, more than the other. (“Luke 19-20” by J.N. Darby)
• To each servant the same sum is entrusted, so that the difference in the result sprang from their diligence and skill, or otherwise. (“Luke 19” by F.B. Hole)
