CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainLuke 19:11–27

This parable as it is related in Luke is different from that given in Matthew concerning the talents. For in the former indeed out of one and the same principal there were different sums produced, seeing that from the profits of one pound received, one servant brought five, another ten pounds. But with Matthew it is very different. For he who received two pounds, thereto added two more. He who received five, gained as much again. So the rewards given are unlike also.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).

Also cites: Hom. 78. in Matt. Mat. 25.
