LUKE 19:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.”
He said: a man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return — the man of noble birth going to have himself appointed king: the political background of the parable reflects the actual practice of Herodian rulers going to Rome to receive their appointment from Caesar. The going to a distant country communicates the delay — the kingdom is not immediately appearing.
