Bible Question: In Luke 19. 10 servants were mention 3 were told about. What happened to them. My question is what happened to the other 7 why mention 10 if just 3 were mentioned |
Bible Answer: Hello pastorsd, Welcome to the Forum. You're asking a good question. The text in Luke 19:13 tells us, "And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back." Then, in verses 16, 18, and 20 were given the 3 accounts. Yet the parallel account in Matt. 25:14-15 says, "...called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability." We're not given a specific number of servants. The inference here looks to be only three but maybe more. Scripture doesn't tell us or provide any other clues as to what happened to the other 7. So, my conclusion is that God, through the inspiration of Luke's account does not wish to relay any more details than the narrative contains. The point is not in the detail of "how many", but what each did with WHAT he was given! Luke 19:26 "I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away." I hope this helps, BradK |
