Luke:19:11-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as they heard (
5723 )
these things ,
he added (
5631 )
and spake (
5627 )
a parable ,
because he was (
5750 )
nigh to Jerusalem ,
and because they thought (
5721 )
that the kingdom of God should (
5719 )
immediately appear (
5745 ).
*
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 .
*
And the second came (
5627 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Lord ,
thy pound hath gained (
5656 )
five pounds .
*
And he said (
5627 )
likewise to him ,
Be (
5737 )
thou also over five cities .
*
And another came (
5627 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Lord ,
behold (
5628 ),
here is thy pound ,
which I have (
5707 )
kept laid up (
5740 )
in a napkin :
*
For I feared (
5711 )
thee ,
because thou art (
5748 )
an austere man :
thou takest up (
5719 )
that thou layedst not down (
5656 ),
and reapest (
5719 )
that thou didst not sow (
5656 ).
*
And he saith (
5719 )
unto him ,
Out of thine own mouth will I judge (
5692 )
thee ,
thou wicked servant .
Thou knewest (
5715 )
that I was (
5748 )
an austere man ,
taking up (
5723 )
that I laid not down (
5656 ),
and reaping (
5723 )
that I did not sow (
5656 ):
*
Wherefore then gavest not thou (
5656 )
my money into the bank ,
that at my coming (
5631 )
I might have required (
5656 )
mine own with usury ?
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them that stood by (
5761 ),
Take (
5657 )
from him the pound ,
and give (
5628 )
it to him that hath (
5723 )
ten pounds .
* (
And they said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Lord ,
he hath (
5719 )
ten pounds .)
*
For I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That unto every one which hath (
5723 )
shall be given (
5701 );
and from him that hath (
5723 )
not ,
even that he hath (
5719 )
shall be taken away (
5701 )
from him .
*
But those mine enemies ,
which would (
5660 )
not that I should reign (
5658 )
over them ,
bring (
5628 )
hither ,
and slay (
5657 )
them before me .
