English Revised Version (ERV)
And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
Clarke's Luke 19:25 Bible Commentary
And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds - This whole verse is omitted by the Codex Bezae, a few others, and some copies of the Itala. It is probably an observation that some person made while our Lord was delivering the parable, with a design to correct him in the distribution: as if he had said, "Why give the mina to that person? he has got ten already; give it to one of those who has fewer."
Barnes's Luke 19:25 Bible Commentary
And they said unto him - Those standing around him said.
He hath ... - This was probably an observation made by some of the bystanders, as if surprised at such a decision. "He has already ten pounds. Why take away this one, and add to what he already possesses? Why should his property be increased at the expense of this man, who has but one pound?" The answer to this is given in the following verse; that every one that hath, to him shall be given; every man who is faithful, and improves what God gives him, shall receive much more.
Wesley's Luke 19:25 Bible Commentary
19:25 They said - With admiration, not envy.
