ACV(i)
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And having called ten of his bondmen, he gave them ten minas and said to them, Do business until I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy behind him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass for him to return, having taken the kingdom. And he said for these bondmen to be called to him, to whom he gave the silver, so that he might know what any man gained by trading.
16 And the first came, saying, Lord, thy mina gained ten minas.
17 And he said to him, Well, thou good bondman. Because thou became faithful in the least, be thou having authority over ten cities.
