ISB ~ Matthew 25 v14

on a journey:A sufficient time for servants to multiply their master’s wealth. In the context of Jesus’ sermon, the journey represents the delay between his Ascension and God’s judgment on Jerusalem in A.D. 70 (Lk 19:11-27). At the personal level, it indicates one’s lifetime, during which God expects his gifts to be cultivated (1 Pet 4:10).
