Luke 19:12

Luke 19:12

10 ^afor the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

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.

<< Luke 19:11

Luke 19:13 >>

Luke 19:12 A certain nobleman went into a far country. While this parable is much like that of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30 Mr 13:34-36), it is a different one in many particulars; spoken elsewhere, for a different purpose. To receive for himself a kingdom. As Christ would leave the earth and ascend to heaven before he would receive his kingdom.
