Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 19:24-25

"And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds." — Luke 19:24-25 (ASV)

And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

They were quite astonished. "What! give more to the man who has so much already?" "Yes," says the master, "that is my command."
