(27) But those mine enemies.--This feature of the parable is peculiar to St. Luke's report. Like the earlier portions of the outer framework of the story, it had an historical groundwork in the conduct of Archelaus on his return from Rome (Jos. Wars, ii. 7, ? 3). Spiritually, it represents, in bold figures drawn from the acts of tyrant kings, the ultimate victory of the Christ over the unbelieving and rebellious. (Comp. 1Corinthians 15:25.) They who will not have Him to reign over them will learn that He does reign, and having shut Love out, will themselves be shut out from Love.Verse 27. - But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. An obvious reference to the Lord's dealings with the chosen people, and an unmistakable reference to the awful ruin and disaster which was so soon to overwhelm the city and temple and the whole nationality. But behind this temporal reference there looms in the background the vast shadow of a terrible eternal doom reserved for the enemies of the Redeemer. Godet has a beautiful and suggestive note on the signification of the ten and five cities, the reward of the faithful toiler here. "They," the "cities," "represent mortal beings in a lower state of development, but whom the glorified faithful are commissioned to raise to their Divine destination." The verse concludes Jesus’ parable of the minas with a sober reminder: those who persist in rejecting His rightful reign will face visible, decisive judgment. The nobleman stands for Christ, the journey for His ascension, the return for His second coming, and the enemies for every heart that refuses His lordship. Scripture presents this outcome as certain, just, and final. The passage therefore calls each listener to embrace the King now, living in faithful allegiance rather than defiant resistance, confident that His justice and mercy are perfectly balanced in the gospel.
