Luke 19:15
Compare all
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.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
21 aFor I feared you, because you are1 an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
