Luke 19:15

“And it came about that, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.”

But one day the King will return having received His Kingship. And in that day He will call on all His servants to give an account before Him of what they have achieved with what He had given them. This calling to account is clearly depicted elsewhere, both in parables of Jesus (Luke 12:35; Luke 20:9; Matthew 20:1; Matthew 25:14) and in the Apostolic letters (Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 3:11; 1Co 4:5; 2 Corinthians 5:10; James 1:12; James 5:7). The subject of these parables was of such importance that we must surely assume that Jesus in fact gave a number of variations on these parables, varied in order to bring out different points, a few of which have been selected by the Gospel writers. This fact adequately explains both the similarities and differences between the parable here and that in Matthew 25:14. Any preacher of worth has done the same with his illustrations, as he seeks constantly to improve them and to use them to illustrate different points.
