Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - But his citizens hated him. Again history supplies the framework. This was what the Jews had done in the case of Archelaus. They had sent a hostile deputation to complain of their future king before the emperor's court at Rome. In the parable, in these "citizens who hated him" a thinly veiled picture is given of those Jews who utterly rejected the mission of Jesus, and by whose designs the Crucifixion was brought about.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him.--Here, also, recent history supplied a feature in the parable. This was precisely what the Jews had done in the case of Archelaus, both at the time referred to in the Note on Luke 19:12, and later on, when their complaints were brought before the Emperor, and led to his deposition and banishment to Gaul. That which answers to it in the inner meaning of the parable is the unwillingness of the Jews--or, taking a wider view of the interpretation, of mankind at large--to accept the law of Christ or acknowledge His sovereignty.
