The early church

These things are of force against the Marcionists. For Christ also says, Bring hither my enemies, and slay them before me. (Mat. 21:41). Whereas they say Christ indeed is good, but the God of the Old Testament evil. Now it is plain that both the Father and the Son do the same things. For the Father sends His army to the vineyard, and the Son causes His enemies to be slain before Him.
John Chrysostom · d. 407Catena Aurea (Aquinas, 1274)
(de Quæst. Ev. l. ii. qu. 46.) Whereby He describes the ungodliness of the Jews who refused to be converted to Him.
Augustine of Hippo · d. 430Catena Aurea (Aquinas, 1274)
He adds of His adversaries, But those mine enemies who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me. Whom he will deliver to death, casting them into the outer fire. But even in this world they were most miserably slain by the Roman army.
Theophylact of Ohrid · d. 1107Catena Aurea (Aquinas, 1274)

Commentary

Matthew Henry · Verses 11–27

This parable is like that of the talents, Mt 25. Those that are called to Christ, he furnishes with gifts needful for their business; and from those to whom he gives power, he expects service. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal, 1Co 12:7. And as every one has received the gift, so let him minister the same, 1Pe 4:10. The account required, resembles that in the parable of the talents; and the punishment of the avowed enemies of Christ, as well as of false professors, is shown. The principal difference is, that the pound given to each seems to point out the gift of the gospel, which is the same to all who hear it; but the talents, distributed more or less, seem to mean that God gives different capacities and advantages to men, by which this one gift of the gospel may be differently improved.
