25: και ειπον αυτω κυριε εχει δεκα μνας— edit Textus Receptus
25: (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)- edit KJV text
25: And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.— edit Douay text



And they said unto him. Those standing around him said.

He hath, &c. This was probably an observation made by some of the by-standers, as if surprised at such a decision. "He has already ten pounds. Why take away this one, and add to what he already possesses? Why should his property be increased at the expense of this man, who has but one pound?" The answer to this is given in the following verse, that every one that hath, to him shall be given; every man who is faithful, and improves what God gives him, shall receive much more.
