Luke 19:11-28
11But as they wereG1510 listeningG191 to these thingsG3778, he addedG4369 and spake a parableG3850, because he wasG1510 near to JerusalemG2419 and they thoughtG1380 that the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316 wasG1510 about to beG1510 immediatelyG3916 manifested.
12He saidG3004 thereforeG3767, A certainG5100 high-born manG444 wentG4198 to a distantG3117 countryG5561 to receiveG2983 for himself a kingdomG932 and returnG5290.
13And having calledG2564 his ownG1438 tenG1176 bondmen, he gaveG1325 to them tenG1176 minasG3414, and saidG3004 to them, Trade while I am comingG2064.
14But his citizensG4177 hatedG3404 him, and sentG649 an embassy after him, sayingG3004, We will not that this [manG3778] should reignG936 over us.
15And it cameG1096 to passG1096 on his arrival back again, having receivedG2983 the kingdomG932, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gaveG1325 the moneyG694 to be called to him, in orderG2443 that he might knowG1097 what every oneG3739 had gained by trading.
16And the firstG4413 cameG3854 up, sayingG3004, [My] LordG2962, thy minaG3414 has produced tenG1176 minasG3414.
17And he saidG3004 to him, Well [done], thou goodG18 bondman; because thou hast beenG1510 faithfulG4103 in that which isG1510 leastG1646, beG1510 thou in authorityG1849 over tenG1176 citiesG4172.
18And the secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, [My] LordG2962, thy minaG3414 has madeG4160 fiveG4002 minasG3414.
19And he saidG3004 alsoG2532 to this oneG3778, And thou, be over fiveG4002 citiesG4172.
20And another cameG2064, sayingG3004, [My] LordG2962, lo, [there is] thy minaG3414, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21For I fearedG5399 thee because thou art a harsh manG444: thou takest up what thou hast not laidG5087 downG5087, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowedG4687.
22He saysG3004 to him, Out of thy mouthG4750 will I judgeG2919 thee, wickedG4190 bondman: thou knewest that I amG1510 a harsh manG444, takingG142 up what I have not laidG5087 downG5087 and reapingG2325 what I have not sowedG4687.
23And whyG5101 didst thou not giveG1325 my moneyG694 to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my comingG2064, with interestG5110?
24And he saidG3004 to those that stoodG3936 by, TakeG142 from him the minaG3414 and giveG1325 [it] to him who has the tenG1176 minasG3414.
25And they saidG3004 to him, LordG2962, he has tenG1176 minasG3414.
26For I sayG3004 unto you, that to every oneG3739 that has shall be givenG1325; but from him that has not, that evenG2532 which he has shall be takenG142 from him.
27Moreover those mineG1473 enemiesG2190, who would not [have] me to reignG936 over them, bringG71 them hereG5602 and slay [them] before me.
28And having saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he wentG4198 on beforeG1715, goingG4198 up to JerusalemG2414.
