Commentary

PARABLE OF THE POUNDS. (Luke 19:11-27) a far country--said to put down the notion that He was just on His way to set up His kingdom, and to inaugurate it by His personal presence. to receive . . . a kingdom--be invested with royalty; as when Herod went to Rome and was there made king; a striking expression of what our Lord went away for and received, "sitting down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." to return--at His second coming.
