A.T. Robertson Commentary Matthew 25:19

"Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them." — Matthew 25:19 (ASV)

Maketh a reckoning (συναιρε λογον). As in 18:23. Deissmann (Light from the Ancient

East, p. 117) gives two papyri quotations with this very business idiom and one Nubian ostracon with it. The ancient Greek writers do not show it.
