The Parable of the Ten Minas
Luke 19:11-27
* The bust and coins at Luke 19:14 are of Herod Archelaus, son and principal heir of Herod I the Great as king of Judaea, but deposed by Rome because of his unpopularity with the Jews.
(From Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers:)
(14) But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him.--Here, also, recent history supplied a feature in the parable. This was precisely what the Jews had done in the case of Archelaus, both at the time referred to in the Note on Luke 19:12, and later on, when their complaints were brought before the Emperor, and led to his deposition and banishment to Gaul. That which answers to it in the inner meaning of the parable is the unwillingness of the Jews--or, taking a wider view of the interpretation, of mankind at large--to accept the law of Christ or acknowledge His sovereignty.
