23 Hvers vegna léstu þá ekki fé mitt í banka? Þá hefði ég fengið það með vöxtum, er ég kom heim.'

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Wherefore: Romans 2:4, Romans 2:5

usury: Exodus 22:25-27, Deuteronomy 23:19, Deuteronomy 23:20

Reciprocal: Matthew 25:27 - oughtest Luke 15:31 - General Luke 19:15 - money

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank,.... Or "on the table", at which the bankers sat, and received and delivered money on interest. The Complutensian edition reads, "to the tablers", or "bankers": had Christ been such a person as he represents him, he ought to have been the more diligent, and made the greater use of his gifts, since he knew that he would, in a rigid manner, as he suggests, demand an account of them:

that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? not that Christ approves of usury in an unlawful way, by extortion, but reproves hereby the sloth of this man, and exposes his folly and wickedness upon his own principles.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The bank - The treasury, or the place of exchange. Why did you not loan it out, that it might be increased?

Usury - Interest.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 19:23. With usury? — συν τοκω, With its produce, i.e. what the loan of the money is fairly worth, after paying the person sufficiently for using it: for, in lent money, both the lender and borrower are supposed to reap profit.
