emtv - Luke:19:11-27

emtv@Luke:19:11 @ Now as they heard these things, He told another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

emtv@Luke:19:12 @ Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

emtv@Luke:19:13 @ And having called ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'

emtv@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.'

emtv@Luke:19:15 @ And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded those servants to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, so that he might know who gained what by trading.

emtv@Luke:19:16 @ Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.'

emtv@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, 'Well [done], good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

emtv@Luke:19:18 @ And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina made five minas.'

emtv@Luke:19:19 @ Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.'

emtv@Luke:19:20 @ Then another came, saying, 'Master, behold your mina, which I had laid away in a handkerchief.

emtv@Luke:19:21 @ For I feared you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.'

emtv@Luke:19:22 @ And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I did not deposit, and reaping what I did not sow.

emtv@Luke:19:23 @ Why then did you not give my money to a bank, and when I came, I would have collected it with interest?'

emtv@Luke:19:24 @ And he said to those standing by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.'

emtv@Luke:19:25 @ "But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.'

emtv@Luke:19:26 @ For I say to you that to everyone who has, [more] shall be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

emtv@Luke:19:27 @ Nevertheless bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay [them] before me.' "
