Luke 19:11-14

11Now while they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because 1He was near Jerusalem and they thought that 2the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

12So He said, “3A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then to return.

13And he called ten of his own slaves and gave them ten 4minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with this money 5until I come back.’

14But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
