{Going into another country} (apod(886d)(936e)). About to go away
from one's people (d(886d)os), on the point of going abroad. This
word in ancient use in this sense. There is an ellipse here that
has to be supplied, {It is as when} or {The kingdom of heaven is
as when}. This Parable of the Talents is quite similar to the
Parable of the Pounds in Lu 19:11-28 , but they are not
variations of the same story. Some scholars credit Jesus with
very little versatility. {His goods} ( a huparchonta autou).
His belongings, neuter participle used as a substantive.
