Luke 19:16-26

16The firstG4413 appearedG3854, sayingG3004, ‘1MasterG2962, your 2minaG3414 has madeG4333 tenG1176 minasG3414 moreG4333.’

17And he saidG3004 to him, ‘WellG1065 doneG2095, goodG18 slaveG1401, becauseG3754 you have beenG1096 3faithfulG4103 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646, you are to be in authorityG1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172.’

18The secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘Your 4minaG3414, 5masterG2962, has madeG4160 fiveG4002 minasG3414.’

19And he saidG3004 to him alsoG2532, ‘And you are to be overG1883 fiveG4002 citiesG4172.’

20AnotherG2087 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘MasterG2962, hereG2400 is your minaG3414, whichG3739 I keptG2192 putG606 awayG606 in a handkerchiefG4676;

21for I was afraidG5399 of you, becauseG3754 you are an exactingG840 manG444; you takeG142 up whatG3739 you did not layG5087 downG5087 and reapG2325 whatG3739 you did not sowG4687.’

22He saidG3004 to him, ‘6By your own wordsG4750 I will judgeG2919 you, you worthlessG4190 slaveG1401. Did you knowG3609 that I amG1510 an exactingG840 manG444, takingG142 up whatG3739 I did not layG5087 downG5087 and reapingG2325 whatG3739 I did not sowG4687?

23ThenG2532 whyG1223G5101 did you not putG1325 my moneyG694 in the bankG5132, and having comeG2064, I would have collectedG4238 it with interestG5110?’

24ThenG2532 he saidG3004 to the bystandersG3936, ‘TakeG142 the minaG3414 awayG142 from him and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 minasG3414.’

25And they saidG3004 to him, ‘MasterG2962, he hasG2192 tenG1176 minasG3414 already.’

26‘7I tellG3004 you that to everyoneG3956 who hasG2192, more shall be givenG1325, but from the one who does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he does haveG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142.
