This phrase indicates a direct response from the master, highlighting the personal accountability each servant has before him. The context of a master-servant relationship was common in the ancient Near East, reflecting the authority and responsibility dynamics familiar to Jesus' audience.You wicked servant The term "wicked" denotes moral failure and disobedience. In biblical terms, wickedness often involves a rejection of God's ways and commands. This servant's actions are contrasted with the faithful servants who invested their minas wisely. The use of "wicked" underscores the seriousness of failing to fulfill one's responsibilities in God's kingdom.I will judge you by your own words This phrase emphasizes the principle of self-condemnation. The servant's own admission and understanding of the master's character are used against him. This reflects a broader biblical theme where individuals are judged according to their knowledge and actions (<a href="/matthew/12-37.htm">Matthew 12:37</a>). It highlights the importance of integrity and accountability.So you knew that I am a harsh man The servant's perception of the master as "harsh" suggests a misunderstanding or mischaracterization of the master's true nature. In the parable, this reflects how some perceive God as unjust or demanding, which can lead to fear and inaction. The master’s response challenges this perception, urging a correct understanding of God's character.withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? This phrase uses agricultural imagery, common in Jesus' teachings, to illustrate the master's expectations of productivity and stewardship. The servant's claim of the master reaping where he did not sow is ironic, as it highlights the servant's failure to act even with this understanding. Biblically, God expects His followers to be fruitful and multiply their gifts (<a href="/john/15-8.htm">John 15:8</a>), and this servant's inaction is a failure to meet that expectation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_master.htm">The Master</a> Represents God or Jesus in the parable, who entrusts His servants with resources and expects them to be fruitful. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_servant.htm">The Servant</a> Symbolizes believers or followers of Christ, who are given responsibilities and are expected to act faithfully. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_parable_of_the_minas.htm">The Parable of the Minas</a> A account told by Jesus to illustrate the Kingdom of God and the accountability of His followers. 4. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where Jesus was heading, emphasizing the context of His impending crucifixion and the urgency of His message. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_other_servants.htm">The Other Servants</a> Represent different responses to the master's trust, highlighting the varied faithfulness among believers.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/a/accountability_to_god.htm">Accountability to God</a> We are accountable to God for how we use the resources and opportunities He provides.
