The Parable of the Minas

11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because athey thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.  
12 aTherefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.  
13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten1 minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’  
14 aBut his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’  
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these 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.
16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’
17 And he said to him, a‘Well done, good servant; because you were bfaithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’  
18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’
19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
