Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en soudario {ἐν σουδαρίῳ | en soudaríō} “in a cloth” specifies the location and manner of this safeguarding. Together, the imperfect plus perfect participle emphasize duration and settled inaction: the servant carefully preserved the entrusted money but did not put it to productive use. The translations mirror this by using “had kept laid away” and “kept stored away” to reflect both the continuing action and the static, unproductive state implied by the Greek construction.
In context — Luke 19:20
And the other came, saying, “Lord , behold, your mina, which I had kept laid away in a napkin .”
