Ambrose of Milan — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 19:11-27

Patristic A.D. 397
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
“Nothing is said of the other servants, who like wasteful debtors lost all that they had received. By those two servants who gained by trading, are signified that small number, who in two companies were sent as dressers of the vineyard; by the remainder all the Jews. It follows, And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten pounds. And lest this should seem unjust, it is added, For to every one that hath, it shall be given.”
