ISB ~ Luke 19 v11

appear immediately:The disciples expected Jesus’ long journey to Jerusalem to culminate in his enthronement and the establishment of an earthly kingdom (Acts 1:6). The parable corrects this misunderstanding on two counts. (1) It hints that Jesus will be enthroned far away in the heavenly Jerusalem, not in the earthly city just up the road (Acts 2:33-36). (2) It shows that Jesus will be absent for a time before he returns to judge his enemies and settle accounts with his servants.
