Luke 19:12-13

12Jesus said to them, ‘An important man left his home and he travelled a long way to another country. There he would receive authority to rule his own country. After that, he would return home and he would be king.

13Before he left, he asked ten of his servants to come to him. He gave each of them ten pounds of silver. “Use this money to get more money for me while I am away,” he said.
