Luke 19:12 - 27
Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for
himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them
ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 But his citizens
hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to
reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then
commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he
might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying,
‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, ‘Well
done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten
cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five
minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put
away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect
what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him,
‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an
austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then
did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with
interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to
him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten
minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from
him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here
those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before
me.’”
