Against the majority opinion, this study argues that the Lukan Parable of the Talents is a story about the use and abuse of power. The suppression of challenge to oppressive structures evidenced in the Parable of the Pounds fits a pattern that operates in other parts of the Lukan Gospel. This study argues that this pattern of 'taking away the pound' is also seen within stories of women characters who resist patriarchal ideals and expectations.
