Luke 19:12-26

12HeG2532 saidG3004 thereforeG3767, A certainG5100 nobleman wentG4198 intoG1519 a far countryG5561, toG1519 receiveG2983 forG1519 himselfG1438 a kingdomG932, andG2532 toG1519 returnG5290.

13AndG2532 heG2532 calledG2564 tenG1176 servantsG1401 ofG1401 hisG846, andG2532 gaveG1325 themG846 tenG1176 pounds, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Trade ye herewith till IG3739 comeG2064.

14ButG1161 hisG846 citizensG4177 hatedG3404 himG846, andG2532 sentG649 anG2532 ambassage afterG3694 himG846, sayingG3004, WeG2249 willG3778 notG3756 thatG3004 thisG3778 manG3778 reignG936 overG1909 usG3004.

15AndG2532 itG846 cameG1096 toG2443 passG1096, whenG2532 heG2532 was comeG1096 backG2983 againG2532, having receivedG2983 theG3588 kingdomG932, thatG3739 heG2532 commanded theseG3778 servantsG1401, unto whomG3739 heG2532 had givenG1325 theG3588 moneyG694, toG2443 beG1096 calledG3004 toG2443 himG846, thatG3739 heG2532 mightG2532 knowG1097 whatG5101 theyG846 had gained byG1722 trading.

16AndG1161 theG3588 firstG4413 cameG3854 beforeG4413 him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thy pound hath madeG3004 tenG1176 pounds moreG4333.

17AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, WellG2532 doneG1096, thou goodG18 servantG1401: becauseG3754 thou wast foundG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 a veryG846 littleG1646, have thou authorityG1849 overG1883 tenG1176 citiesG4172.

18AndG2532 theG3588 secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, Thy pound, LordG2962, hath madeG4160 fiveG4002 pounds.

19AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto himG2532 alsoG2532, BeG1096 thou alsoG2532 overG1883 fiveG4002 citiesG4172.

20AndG2532 anotherG2087 cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG2400, hereG2400 is thy pound, whichG3739 IG3739 keptG3739 laidG606 upG2064 inG1722 a napkin:

21forG1063 IG3739 fearedG5399 thee, becauseG3754 thou art anG1510 austere manG444: thou takest upG142 thatG3754 thou layedst notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapest thatG3754 thou didst notG3756 sowG4687.

22HeG2532 saith unto himG846, OutG1537 ofG1537 thine ownG846 mouthG4750 willG1510 IG1473 judgeG2919 thee, thou wickedG4190 servantG1401. Thou knewest thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 anG1510 austere manG444, takingG142 upG142 thatG3754 IG1473 laidG5087 notG3756 downG5087, andG2532 reapingG2325 thatG3754 IG1473 didG1492 notG3756 sowG4687;

23thenG2532 wherefore gavest thou notG3756 myG1325 moneyG694 intoG2064 theG3588 bankG5132, andG2532 IG1473 at myG1325 comingG2064 shouldG2532 have required itG846 withG4862 interestG5110?

24AndG2532 heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846 thatG3004 stoodG3936 byG575, TakeG142 awayG142 fromG575 himG846 theG3588 pound, andG2532 giveG1325 itG846 unto himG846 thatG3004 hath theG3588 tenG1176 pounds.

25AndG2532 theyG846 saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, heG2532 hath tenG1176 pounds.

26IG3739 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 unto everyG3956 oneG3739 thatG3754 hath shallG2532 beG2532 givenG1325; butG1161 fromG575 himG1325 thatG3754 hath notG3361, evenG2532 thatG3754 whichG3739 heG2532 hath shallG2532 beG2532 takenG142 awayG142 fromG575 himG1325.
