Luke 19: 11-27
\n11 As they were listening to this, he went on to tell a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. 12 So he said, \u201cA nobleman went to a distant country to get royal power for himself and then return. 13 He summoned ten of his slaves, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, \u2018Do business with these until I come back.\u2019 14 But the citizens of his country hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, \u2018We do not want this man to rule over us.\u2019 15 When he returned, having received royal power, he ordered these slaves, to whom he had given the money, to be summoned so that he might find out what they had gained by trading. 16 The first came forward and said, \u2018Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.\u2019 17 He said to him, \u2018Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.\u2019 18 Then the second came, saying, \u2018Lord, your pound has made five pounds.\u2019 19 He said to him, \u2018And you, rule over five cities.\u2019 20 Then the other came, saying, \u2018Lord, here is your pound. I wrapped it up in a piece of cloth, 21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.\u2019 22 He said to him, \u2018I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.\u2019 24 He said to the bystanders, \u2018Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.\u2019 25 (And they said to him, \u2018Lord, he has ten pounds!\u2019) 26 \u2018I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them\u2014bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.\u2019 \u201d
