Luke 19:12-17

BLB(i) 12 Therefore He said, “A certain man of noble birth proceeded to a distant country, to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 And having called ten of his servants, he gave to them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business until that I come back.’ 14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We are not willing for this man to reign over us.’ 15 And it came to pass, on his returning, having received the kingdom, that he directed these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what each had gained by trading. 16 And the first came up, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has produced ten more minas.’ 17 And He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you were faithful in very little, you are to be having authority over ten cities.’
