John Gill Commentary Luke 19:23

"then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?" — Luke 19:23 (ASV)

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank ,
&c.] Or "on the table", at which the bankers sat, and received and delivered money on interest. The Complutensian edition reads, "to the tablers", or "bankers": had Christ been such a person as he represents him, he ought to have been the more diligent, and made the greater use of his gifts, since he knew that he would, in a rigid manner, as he suggests, demand an account of them:

that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury ?
not that Christ approves of usury in an unlawful way, by extortion, but reproves hereby the sloth of this man, and exposes his folly and wickedness upon his own principles.
