* He said (5627 ) therefore , A certain nobleman went (5675 ) into a far country to receive (5629 ) for himself a kingdom , and to return (5658 ). * And he called (5660 ) his ten servants , and delivered (5656 ) them ten pounds , and said (5627 ) unto them , Occupy (5663 ) till I come (5736 ). * But his citizens hated (5707 ) him , and sent (5656 ) a message after him , saying (5723 ), We will not have (5719 ) this man to reign (5658 ) over us . * And it came to pass (5633 ), that when he was returned (5629 ), having received (5631 ) the kingdom , then he commanded (5627 ) these servants to be called (5683 ) unto him , to whom he had given (5656 ) the money , that he might know (5632 ) how much every man had gained by trading (5662 ). * Then came (5633 ) the first , saying (5723 ), Lord , thy pound hath gained (5662 ) ten pounds . * And he said (5627 ) unto him , Well , thou good servant : because thou hast been (5633 ) faithful in a very little , have (5723 ) thou authority (5749 ) over ten cities .
