Luke 19:13-26 And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin,* and said to them, Trade till I come. * The mani (Heb. maneh) is said to have been equal to sixty shekels, or nine pounds English.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin,* and said to them, Trade till I come. [* The mani (Heb. maneh) is said to have been equal to sixty shekels, or nine pounds English.] ¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We are not willing that this should reign over us. ¹⁵ And having received the kingdom and returned, he spake to call to him those servants to whom he had given the silver, that he might know how every one of them had traded. ¹⁶ And the first came and said, My lord, thy mani ten minin hath gained. ¹⁷ He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came and said, My lord, thy mani five minin hath made. ¹⁹ He saith also to this, Thou also shalt have rule over five towns. ²⁰ And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin. ²¹ For I feared thee, because thou art a hard man, taking up what thou hadst not laid down, and reaping what thou sowedst not. ²² He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not: ²³ why (then) gavest thou not my silver upon the table, that when I came I might require it with its increase? ²⁴ And to those who stood before him he said, Take from him the mani, and give to him who hath the ten minin. ²⁵ They say to him, Our lord, he hath ten minin. ²⁶ He saith to them, I tell you, that to every one who hath (it) shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken.
