Luke 19:12-17

Wesley(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 servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, 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 when he was returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, to know what each had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said to him, Well done, good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, be thou governor over ten cities.
