Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 23. - Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? Many in "the bank" have seen mirrored those Christian societies and religious organizations to which every believer may entrust the resources which he is uncertain how best to use himself. Without particularizing, however, it seems better to understand the Lord here simply intending to teach, by his image of the bank, that no man in this world is doomed to inactivity or uselessness, but that there will be opportunity afforded to every one who is willing to use his talent in a humble and obscure, if not in a heroic and conspicuous, way.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(23) Into the bank.--Literally, the table, or counter. The Greek substantive is the root of the word translated "exchangers" in Matthew 25:27 (where see Note).That at my coming I might have required . . .--Literally, And when I came I should have got it with interest.Usury.--The word is used (as in Matthew 25:27) in its older meaning, as including interest of any kind, and not exclusively that which we call usurious.
