| After a long time the lord of those servants cometh and reckoneth with them--That any one--within the lifetime of the apostles at least--with such words before them, should think that Jesus had given any reason to expect His Second Appearing within that period, would seem strange, did we not know the tendency of enthusiastic, ill-regulated love of His appearing ever to take this turn. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
After a long time ... - By the return of the lord of those servants to reckon with them is denoted the return of Christ to call people to an account for the manner in which they have improved their talents. See Rom 14:12; Co2 5:10; Th1 4:16; Act 1:11; Act 17:31.
Reckon with them - To reckon is to settle accounts. Here it means to inquire into their faithfulness, and to reward or punish them accordingly. |
31 Because [1360] he hath appointed [2476] a day [2250], in [1722] the which [3739] he will [3195] judge [2919] the world [3625] in [1722] righteousness [1343] by [1722] that man [435] whom [3739] he hath ordained [3724]; whereof he hath given [3930] assurance [4102] unto all [3956] men, in that he hath raised [450] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498].
11 Which [3739] also [2532] said [2036], Ye men [435] of Galilee [1057], why [5101] stand ye [2476] gazing up [1689] into [1519] heaven [3772]? this same [3778] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is taken up [353] from [575] you [5216] into [1519] heaven [3772], shall [2064] so [3779] come [2064] in like manner as [3739] [5158] ye have seen [2300] him [846] go [4198] into [1519] heaven [3772].
16 For [3754] the Lord [2962] himself [846] shall descend [2597] from [575] heaven [3772] with [1722] a shout [2752], with [1722] the voice [5456] of the archangel [743], and [2532] with [1722] the trump [4536] of God [2316]: and [2532] the dead [3498] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall rise [450] first [4412]:
10 For [1063] we [2248] must [1163] all [3956] appear [5319] before [1715] the judgment seat [968] of Christ [5547]; that [2443] every one [1538] may receive [2865] the things done in [1223] his body [4983], according [4314] to that [3739] he hath done [4238], whether [1535] it be good [18] or [1535] bad [2556].
12 So [3767] then [686] every one [1538] of us [2257] shall give [1325] account [3056] of [4012] himself [1438] to God [2316].
