Luke 19:13

In context

11While they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they imagined that the kingdom of God was about to appear at any moment. 12So he said: “A man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to be given a kingdom for himself and then return. 13He called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas and told them, ‘Do business with these until I come.’ 14But his own people hated him, and they sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ 15When he came back, having received the kingdom, he ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might learn what each had gained by trading.
