MLV(i)
12 Therefore he said: A certain noble man, traveled into a far away region, to receive a kingdom for himself and to return.
13 Now he called ten of his bondservants, and gave them ten two-hundred denarius coins, and said to them, Trade with this until I come.
14 But his citizens were hating him and sent an ambassador after him, saying, We do not wish that this one reign over us.
15 And it happened, while he was coming back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these bondservants, to whom he gave the silver, to be summoned to him, in order that he might know what they had made by trading.
16 Now the first came before him, saying, Lord, your two-hundred denarius coin has been worked up to ten two-hundred denarius coins more. 17 And he said to him, Well done, you good bondservant, because you became faithful in the least matters; you have ten cities, be the authority over them,.
