Context of Luke 19:14

12He said, “A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king, and then he returned. 13⌞Before he left,⌟ he called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins. He said to his servants, ‘Invest this money until I come back.’ “The citizens of his own country hated him. They sent representatives to follow him and say ⌞to the person who was going to appoint him⌟, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ 15“After he was appointed king, he came back. Then he said, ‘Call those servants to whom I gave money. I want to know how much each one has made by investing.’ 16“The first servant said, ‘Sir, the coin you gave me has earned ten times as much.’
