1 | Who is speaking in Luke 19:27? | Luke 19:27 | YenIsaRap | 217957 | ||
Dear JK123 There is a lot taking place in these verses. To keep everything in it's context v.12 starts off with a nobleman going to receive a kingdom. I take this v.12 to be JESUS v.13 this nobleman calls his servants then gives them money to do business with while he is gone. I take this v.13 to be JESUS DISCIPLES v.14 speaks of the citizens not wanting the nobleman to rule over them because they hated him. I take this v.14 to be the nation of the JEWS. Rejecting their Messiah. v.15 - v.19 the nobleman returns taking account of his servants giving them reward. I take these vs.15-19 to be JESUS and HIS DESCIPLES v.20 - v.23 is the narrative about the fearful servant I take v.24 to be possibly what we might call a (TARE) not a TRUE DESCIPLE. v.24 the culmination of his punishment telling the other servants to take his money giveing it to another. v.25 the servants declare the other already has money. In comparing other translations I found the KJV has v.25 in brackets. if you drop v.25 out then v.24 and v.26 fit together better. The narrative started in v.20 then flows into v.26 with the understanding that the nobleman is still talking to his servants. I take v.26 to be JESUS still talking to HIS DISCIPLES v.27 then we come to the citizens that didn't want him as ruler. I take v.27 to be the Jews that did not want him to be King over them. (Rejected Him as Messiah). This whole parable is a first person narrative. Jesus was talking to the Jews as well as the disciples. But the Jews didn't understand HIM. Hope it helps YenIsaRap |

Dear Yen... Even if Jesus had made it clear that He was speaking about Himself in the parable, it would still, by definition, be a second person narrative. Sort of like if I were to say: John said: "thus and such" speaking about something I had said, that is what is called a second person narrative. So, a parable 'cannot' by definition, be considered a first person narrative. I hope that helps. John |

No problem! :-) If we don't make some mistakes (I've made more then I care to remember) we seldom learn anything of value. The easy stuff seems to get lost! Blessings to you too, my friend. :-) By the way, it does certainly seem clear that Jesus is indeed speaking about himself in the parable. A condemnation for the disobedient children of wrath, and a warning for His own children of glory. John |
