Luke 19:11-14

11But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of 1God was about to be immediately manifested.

12He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

13And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.

14But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
