Luke:19:11 @
And while they are hearing these things ,
having added he spake a simile ,
because of his being nigh to Jerusalem ,
and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest .
ylt @
Luke:19:12 @
He said therefore , '
A certain man of birth went on to a far country ,
to take to himself a kingdom ,
and to return ,
ylt @
Luke:19:13 @
and having called ten servants of his own ,
he gave to them ten pounds ,
and said unto them ,
Do business --
till I come ;
ylt @
Luke:19:14 @
and his citizens were hating him ,
and did send an embassy after him ,
saying ,
We do not wish this one to reign over us .
ylt @
Luke:19:15 @'
And it came to pass ,
on his coming back ,
having taken the kingdom ,
that he commanded these servants to be called to him ,
to whom he gave the money ,
that he might know what any one had done in business .
ylt @
Luke:19:16 @'
And the first came near ,
saying ,
Sir ,
thy pound did gain ten pounds ;
ylt @
Luke:19:17 @
and he said to him ,
Well done ,
good servant ,
because in a very little thou didst become faithful ,
be having authority over ten cities .
ylt @
Luke:19:18 @'
And the second came ,
saying ,
Sir ,
thy pound made five pounds ;
ylt @
Luke:19:19 @
and he said also to this one ,
And thou ,
become thou over five cities .
ylt @
Luke:19:20 @'
And another came ,
saying ,
Sir ,
lo ,
thy pound ,
that I had lying away in a napkin ;
ylt @
Luke:19:21 @
for I was afraid of thee ,
because thou art an austere man ;
thou takest up what thou didst not lay down ,
and reapest what thou didst not sow .
ylt @
Luke:19:22 @'
And he saith to him ,
Out of thy mouth I will judge thee ,
evil servant :
thou knewest that I am an austere man ,
taking up what I did not lay down ,
and reaping what I did not sow !
ylt @
Luke:19:23 @
and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank ,
and I ,
having come ,
with interest might have received it ?
ylt @
Luke:19:24 @'
And to those standing by he said ,
Take from him the pound ,
and give to him having the ten pounds --
ylt @
Luke:19:25 @(
and they said to him ,
Sir ,
he hath ten pounds ) --
ylt @
Luke:19:26 @
for I say to you ,
that to every one having shall be given ,
and from him not having ,
also what he hath shall be taken from him ,
ylt @
Luke:19:27 @
but those my enemies ,
who did not wish me to reign over them ,
bring hither and slay before me .'
