Luke 19:11-19

11As they were listening to this, Yeshua went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they supposed that the kingdom of God was about to appear at once.

12Therefore He said, “A certain nobleman went to a faraway land to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.

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

14But his citizens detested him and they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this fellow to reign over us!’

15When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he called for those slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much business they had done.

16Now the first appeared, saying, ‘Master, your one mina has made ten.’

17The master said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you were faithful with so little, take charge over ten cities.’

18Also, the second slave came, saying, ‘Your mina, Master, made five.’

19Then he also said to this one, ‘You are likewise over five cities.’
