So I was afraid The phrase "I was afraid" reveals the servant's internal state, driven by fear rather than faith. The Greek word for "afraid" is "phobēthēn," which is related to "phobos," meaning fear or terror. This fear is not the reverential awe that believers are encouraged to have towards God, but rather a paralyzing fear that leads to inaction. In a historical context, fear often led individuals to make decisions that were self-preserving rather than faith-driven. Theologically, this fear contrasts with the biblical call to trust in God's provision and sovereignty. and went out and hid your talent in the ground See, you have what belongs to you Parallel Commentaries ...
