But Jesus would not trust Himself to them [i.e., to the care of these Jewish leaders] because He knew all men,

"For the kingdom of heaven is similar to a man who planned to go on a trip to a distant country, so called his servants and entrusted to each of them a large sum of money [Note: The narrative that follows suggests that the man was turning over some of his assets to financial managers to invest for him].

"Who then, is the trustworthy and sensible slave, to whom his master has assigned the management of his household to provide timely meals for its members?

Truly I tell you, he will put that slave in charge of his entire estate.

If therefore you have not been trustworthy in worldly wealth, who will put you in charge of the true [spiritual] riches?

found in the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me.

On the contrary, they saw that I had [already] been entrusted [by God] with the Gospel for the uncircumcised ones [i.e., for Gentiles], just as Peter [had been entrusted by God] with the Gospel for the circumcised ones [i.e., for Jews].

"Now I commit you [elders] to God and to the message of His unearned favor which can build you up [spiritually] and provide you with the inheritance [of never ending life], along with others who are [specially] set apart [for God].

[So], Timothy, guard [the Gospel message] which has been entrusted to you, while avoiding worldly, empty chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called "knowledge,"

but at the proper time revealed [it] through the message entrusted to me to proclaim, by the commandment of God our Savior.
