And now about these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king - bring them in and execute them right here in my presence.

Like others have said, It is in the bible. It is the end of the parable of the talents. This passage is the very last of the parable. Start at Luke 19:24

`And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds --
Luk 19:25 (and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) --
Luk 19:26 for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
Luk 19:27 but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'

This is from Young's translation. This is not Jesus talking. He is relating a story. The man speaking in this translation is the owner of an estate. He gave money to several servants telling them he was going on a trip. When he returned, he wanted to see how well they had taken care of his money.The first two did well and earned interest on his money. The last hid his money. The master was upset. He believed his servant knew that the money should been invested. He took the money from this servant and gave it to the first. Because the third servant did not use his money wisely, he was no servant of the Master. If you are not a serv ant of the Master, you are his enemy. By being his enemy, you will suffer his wrath- Death.

He didn't say that. He was telling a parable about a harsh king WHO said that. Besides, every translation of the Bible says the same verse differently. I think this parable has a message behind it and that's what matters. That is God puts something inside of us and we make it grow, spread, and then we gain something in the end, a reward. If however we make it decrease or lose it, we will have some consequence too. I don't think that means Hell and Heaven concept is the answer to reward-consequence idea, and it is not clear that that what He is talking about, but I think we have the compromise to improve spiritually, and if we don't, we will have to suffer some consequences in the future, in this life or next one.

Peace

Yes, Luke 19:27 is in the bible. What is the question?

2007-09-20 11:08:18 · answer #4 · answered by Justsyd 7 · 5 0

As far as I know, no one says it's not in the bible. However, lots of people quote it out of context, in a poor attempt to say that Jesus believed in violence. Or maybe they are just looking to make people angry by mischaracterizing the passage.

It is part of a parable about a King, and in no way is the Lord saying that violence is right. Jesus in fact forbade violence in all situations.

If you care enough to post this question, and you're not just trying to make trouble then perhaps you'll be good enough to actually read the gospels. Or maybe even just the one gospel book of Luke, all the way through. It doesn't take much time at all.

I read the koran so I could know what it was truly about. That took alot more time, I assure you.


EDITED TO ADD:
The following is from Bukhari Hadith, a book of Islam. It says that 'the prophet' said that execution of muslims who convert to different religions is permissable:

"Allah's Apostle said, The blood of a Muslim, who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims." 9:83:17

I did not see your previous question. But my instincts tell me you are trying to say something that this passage does not imply. This verse does not tell us "we" have the right to slaughter people in the name of religion or any other reason. People love to take one verse and base fact on it, but Scripture compliments Scripture. One verse carries to another. And what God is talking about here is He is illustrating that Christ will also come, set up a kingdom, and punish His enemies. This is a known fact throughout God's Word ( Matthew 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:7-10 ). You are correct, Luke 19:27 is there.

Luke 19:27 is the last line of a parable that Jesus told. The person speaking that line in the parable was not Jesus, it was a Nobleman who went off to a far country and then returned. The example does have implications toward those who do not follow Jesus' commandments, but it is not correct to quote Jesus as saying that.

Lu 19:11-27. Parable of the Pounds.

A different parable from that of the Talents (Mt 25:14-30). For, (1) This parable was spoken "when He was nigh to Jerusalem" (Lu 19:11); that one, some days after entering it, and from the Mount of Olives. (2) This parable was spoken to the promiscuous crowd; that, to the Twelve alone. Accordingly, (3) Besides the "servants" in this parable, who profess subjection to Him, there is a class of "citizens" who refuse to own Him, and who are treated differently, whereas in the parable of the talents, spoken to the former class alone, this latter class is omitted. (4) In the Talents, each servant receives a different number of them (five, two, one); in the Pounds all receive the same one pound, which is but about the sixtieth part of a talent; also, in the talents, each shows the same fidelity by doubling what he received (the five are made ten; the two, four); in the Pounds, each receiving the same, render a different return (one making his pound ten, another five). Plainly, therefore, the intended lesson is different; the one illustrating equal fidelity with different degrees of advantage; the other, different degrees of improvement of the same opportunities; yet with all this difference, the parables are remarkably similar.

12. a far country—said to put down the notion that He was just on His way to set up His kingdom, and to inaugurate it by His personal presence.

to receive … a kingdom—be invested with royalty; as when Herod went to Rome and was there made king; a striking expression of what our Lord went away for and received, "sitting down at the right hand of the Majesty on high."

to return—at His second coming.

13. Occupy—"negotiate," "do business," with the resources entrusted.

14. his citizens—His proper subjects; meaning the Jews, who expressly repudiating our Lord's claims said, "We have no king but Cæsar" (Joh 19:15). In Christendom, these correspond to infidel rejecters of Christianity, as distinguished from professed Christians.

15-26. (See on Mt 25:19-29.)

ten … five cities—different degrees of future gracious reward, proportioned to the measure of present fidelity.

27. bring hither, &c.—(Compare 1Sa 15:32, 33). Referring to the awful destruction of Jerusalem, but pointing to the final destruction of all that are found in open rebellion against Christ.

I don't understand the question. Of course the verse is in there.

Edited to add commentary -
OK having read some other responses here's my take.

This was not Jesus speaking. He was giving the disciples an illustration. He was describing what treatment this ruler's belongings would receive while he was out seeking a kingship. He would come back and demand an accounting of those who were entrusted with his belongings and those that mishandled them would receive his judgment, as would those that were against his new position. .

Luke 19:27 NIV
27But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."


It is there... But I looked at your last question.. It doesn't talk about beheading..
And please do not have a go at people and tell them to do their research.. before you do your own.
This is a parable.
Each parable written by jesus is like.. a metaphor.
He isn't talking about himself here. He wasn't telling them to bring these people before HIM and kill them..
This is what someone else said.. in a story.
Like if you were to tell the story of Goldy Locks and The three bears... When one of the bears said "Who's been eating my porridge" it was the bear saying it, even though YOU told it..
Do you know what I mean? The character in the parable said to kill them. Not Jesus. He just told the story.

And your point is?

Jesus gave us a parable, using a realistic situation. In fact, it may have been something in their local "Jerusalem gazette" (so to speak), which He used to illustrate a point.

Jesus told us quite plainly that those who reject Him would be cast into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, where the fire never dies, and the worm (ie the people there) never die.

So why the big fuss about this one scripture passage in particular?
