Context of Luke 19:26

24The king told his men, ‘Take his coin away, and give it to the man who has ten.’ 25“They replied, ‘Sir, he already has ten coins.’ “ ‘I can guarantee that everyone who has something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don’t have much. 27Bring my enemies, who didn’t want me to be their king. Kill them in front of me.’ ” 28After Jesus had given this illustration, he continued on his way to Jerusalem.
