Luke 20:11
Ayamar Bible (Qullan Arunaca)
What Does This Mean?
This verse describes a situation where the master sends another servant to collect what is due, but just like before, the servants are mistreated and sent away without receiving anything. The story continues with more servants being poorly treated by those who owe something.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a piggy bank at home, and every week, your parents give you some coins to put in it. But one day, they send someone else to collect the money from the piggy bank, but instead of giving the money, you push them away and make fun of them.
Historical Background
The Gospel of Luke was written by a companion of Paul named Luke around 60-85 AD. It is directed at a broader audience including both Jews and Gentiles and provides detailed accounts of Jesus' life and teachings in the context of first-century Palestine.
Living It Out Today
In modern times, this verse can remind us about treating people with respect even when they represent someone else's interests. For example, if you owe money to a company and their representative comes to collect it, treat them kindly regardless of your feelings toward the debt.
