Luke 19:11-28

11Now while they were listeningG191 to theseG3778 thingsG3778, Jesus wentG4369 onG4369 to tellG3004 a parableG3850, becauseG1223 1He was nearG1451 JerusalemG2419 and they thoughtG1380 that 2the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 appearG398 immediatelyG3916. 12SoG3767 He saidG3004, “3A noblemanG2104G444 wentG4198 to a distantG3117 countryG5561 to receiveG2983 a kingdomG932 for himselfG1438, and then to returnG5290. 13And he calledG2564 tenG1176 of his ownG1438 slavesG1401 and gaveG1325 them tenG1176 4minasG3414, and saidG3004 to them, ‘DoG4231 businessG4231 with this money 5untilG1722G3739 I comeG2064 back.’ 14But his citizensG4177 hatedG3404 him and sentG649 a delegationG4242 afterG3694 him, sayingG3004, ‘We do not wantG2309 thisG3778 manG3778 to reignG936 overG1909 us.’ 15WhenG1722 he returnedG1880 after receivingG2983 the kingdomG932, he orderedG3004 that theseG3778 slavesG1401, to whomG3739 he had givenG1325 the moneyG694, be summonedG5455 to him soG2443 thatG2443 he would learnG1097 howG5101 muchG5101 they had madeG1281 byG1281 theG1281 businessG1281 they had doneG1281. 16The firstG4413 slave appearedG3854, sayingG3004, ‘6MasterG2962, your 7minaG3414 has madeG4333 tenG1176 minasG3414 moreG4333.’ 17And he saidG3004 to him, ‘WellG2104 doneG2104, goodG18 slaveG1401; sinceG3754 you have beenG1096 8faithfulG4103 in a veryG1646 littleG1646 thingG1646, you are to haveG2192 authorityG1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172.’ 18The secondG1208 oneG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘Your 9minaG3414, 10masterG2962, has madeG4160 fiveG4002 minasG3414.’ 19And he saidG3004 to him alsoG2532, ‘And you are to be overG1883 fiveG4002 citiesG4172.’ 20And then anotherG2087 cameG2064, sayingG3004, ‘MasterG2962, hereG2400 is your minaG3414, whichG3739 I keptG2192 tuckedG606 awayG606 in a handkerchiefG4676; 21for I wasG5399 afraidG5399 of you, becauseG3754 you are a demandingG840 manG444; you takeG142 upG142 whatG3739 you did not layG5087 downG5087, and reapG2325 whatG3739 you did not sowG4687.’ 22He saidG3004 to him, ‘11From your own lipsG4750 I will judgeG2919 you, you worthlessG4190 slaveG1401. Did you knowG3609 that I amG1510 a demandingG840 manG444, takingG142 upG142 whatG3739 I did not layG5087 downG5087, and reapingG2325 whatG3739 I did not sowG4687? 23And so whyG1223G5101 did you not putG1325 my moneyG694 in the bankG5132, and when I cameG2064 back, I would have collectedG4238 it with interestG5110?’ 24And then he saidG3004 to the other slaves who were presentG3936, ‘TakeG142 the minaG3414 awayG142 from him and giveG1325 it to the one who hasG2192 the tenG1176 minasG3414.’ 25And they saidG3004 to him, ‘MasterG2962, he already hasG2192 tenG1176 minasG3414.’ 26‘12I 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. 27But as for 13theseG3778 enemiesG2190 of mineG1473 who did not wantG2309 me to reignG936 overG1909 them, bringG71 them hereG5602 and 14slaughterG2695 them in my presenceG1715.’”

28After Jesus saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, He 15was goingG4198 on aheadG1715, 16goingG4198 up to JerusalemG2414.
