Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 19:12-13

"He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come." — Luke 19:12-13 (ASV)

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

"Use these pounds on my account; be stewards of them for me until I return."
