Luke
King James Version (KJV)


“Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.”
King James Version (KJV)
19:14 But his citizens - Such were those of Jerusalem, hated him, and sent an embassy after him - The word seems to imply, their sending ambassadors to a superior court, to enter their protest against his being admitted to the regal power. In such a solemn manner did the Jews protest, as it were, before God, that Christ should not reign over them: this man - So they call him in contempt.
19:15 When he was returned - In his glory.
Lu 19:16-19 Thy pound hath gained ten pounds. It is the Lord's goods, faithfully used, that has given the increase. The faithful discharge of duty is rewarded by an increased trust and increased honor. See notes on Mt 25:19-23.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
