  Against the majority opinion, this study argues that the Lukan Parable of the Talents is a story about the use and abuse of power. It states that the Parable of the Pounds is used as a lens to view the characterizations of Lukan women. It explores the ways its dynamic gives insight into the dynamic operating in the Lukan women's characterizations.
