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 .'
