rkjnt - Luke:19:11-27

rkjnt@Luke:19:11 @ And while they listened to these things, he told a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.

rkjnt@Luke:19:12 @ Therefore he said, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and then to return.

rkjnt@Luke:19:13 @ And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, Trade with these until I come.

rkjnt@Luke:19:14 @ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us.

rkjnt@Luke:19:15 @ And it came to pass, that when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded the 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.

rkjnt@Luke:19:16 @ The first came, saying, Lord, your mina has gained ten minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:17 @ And he said to him, Well done, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, take authority over ten cities.

rkjnt@Luke:19:18 @ And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina has gained five minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:19 @ And he said likewise to him, You shall be in authority over five cities.

rkjnt@Luke:19:20 @ And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I have kept laid up in a handkerchief:

rkjnt@Luke:19:21 @ For I feared you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you have not laid down, and reap what you did not sow.

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

rkjnt@Luke:19:23 @ Why then did you not put my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?

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

rkjnt@Luke:19:25 @ And they said to him, Lord, he already has ten minas.

rkjnt@Luke:19:26 @ I say to you, To everyone who has shall more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

rkjnt@Luke:19:27 @ As for my enemies, those who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and kill them in front of me.
