The Parable of the Talents
Matthew 25:19 “After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.”
After
a long... 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;
2Cor. 5:10; 1Thes. 4:16; Acts 1:11; 17:31).
reckoneth with them... Compared accounts. Only here and in Mat. 18:23-24. To reckon is to settle accounts. Here it means to inquire into their faithfulness, and to reward or punish them accordingly.
