Then he told those standing by
This phrase indicates a command given by a figure of authority, in this case, the nobleman in the parable. The "those standing by" are likely servants or attendants, representing those who are witnesses to the actions and decisions of the nobleman. In a broader biblical context, this can symbolize the angels or the church witnessing God's judgment and actions. The setting of a nobleman and his servants reflects the hierarchical social structures of the time, where landowners or rulers had significant power over their servants.

‘Take the mina from him
The mina was a unit of currency in the ancient Near East, and in this parable, it represents the resources or opportunities given by God to His servants. The act of taking the mina away signifies judgment and accountability. Biblically, this reflects the principle that those who do not use their God-given gifts and opportunities wisely will lose them. This echoes the broader biblical theme of stewardship and the expectation that believers will be faithful with what they have been entrusted.

and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
This redistribution of the mina to the one who already has ten highlights the principle of reward for faithfulness. It underscores the biblical teaching that those who are faithful with little will be entrusted with more (Luke 16:10). This action also reflects the kingdom principle that God rewards those who diligently use their gifts and opportunities for His purposes. Theologically, it points to the idea of spiritual growth and the multiplication of blessings for those who are faithful. This can be connected to the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, where similar principles of stewardship and reward are taught.
