Commentary on Luke, Chapter 19 (1257)

And because this seems unreasonable and incredible, that he should give to one who has abundance, therefore it is added: And they said to him: Lord, he has ten minas, as if they were saying: this does not seem to be a right judgment.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And they said unto him,.... The bystanders; Lord, he hath ten pounds; which they say either through envy, at his superior gifts, and usefulness; for it is generally the lot of the most eminent and useful servants of Christ to be envied by others; or in surprise, as wondering at the conduct of Christ in giving more to such, who had so much already. The Ethiopic version reads the words by way of interrogation, "hath he not ten pounds?" is not that enough? why should he have more? This verse is left out in Beza's most ancient copy.
