Luke 19:12-17

Anderson(i) 12 He said, there fore: A certain nobleman went into a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Engage in trade till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each had gained by trading. 16 And the first came and said: Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds. 17 And he said to him: Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.
