Luke 19:11-14

11While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

12Therefore he said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.

13And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.’

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