New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
11
Now while they were listening to these things,
Jesus
went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
12
So He said, 'A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and
then
to return.
13
And he called ten of his own slaves and gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business
with this money
until I come
back.
’
14
But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
15
When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be summoned to him so that he would learn how much they had made by the business they had done.
16
The first
slave
appeared, saying, ‘ Master, your mina has made ten minas more.’
17
And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave; since you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to have authority over ten cities.’
18
The second one came, saying, ‘Your mina, master, has made five minas.’
19
And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20
And
then
another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I kept tucked away in a handkerchief;
21
for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.’
22
He *said to him, ‘ From your own lips I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am a demanding man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow?
King James Version
Chapter 19
11
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

12
Therefore he said: "A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king and then to return.
13
He called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas, and told them, ‘Engage in business until I come back.’
14
"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to rule over us.’
15
"At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those servants he had given the money to, so that he could find out how much they had made in business.
16
The first came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten more minas.’
17
"‘Well done, good servant!’ he told him. ‘Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over ten towns.’
18
"The second came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’
19
"So he said to him, ‘You will be over five towns.’
20
"And another came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina. I have kept it safe in a cloth
21
because I was afraid of you since you’re a harsh man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’
22
"He told him, ‘I will condemn you by what you have said, you evil servant! If you knew I was a harsh man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow,

Chapter 19
11
The crowd was listening to everything Jesus said. And because he was nearing Jerusalem, he told them a story to correct the impression that the Kingdom of God would begin right away.
12
He said, 'A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return.
13
Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying, ‘Invest this for me while I am gone.’
14
But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want him to be our king.’
15
After he was crowned king, he returned and called in the servants to whom he had given the money. He wanted to find out what their profits were.
16
The first servant reported, ‘Master, I invested your money and made ten times the original amount!’
17
‘Well done!’ the king exclaimed. ‘You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’
18
The next servant reported, ‘Master, I invested your money and made five times the original amount.’
19
‘Well done!’ the king said. ‘You will be governor over five cities.’
20
But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, ‘Master, I hid your money and kept it safe.
21
I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn’t yours and harvesting crops you didn’t plant.’
22
‘You wicked servant!’ the king roared. ‘Your own words condemn you. If you knew that I’m a hard man who takes what isn’t mine and harvests crops I didn’t plant,

Chapter 19
11
While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.
12
He said: "A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.
13
So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’
14
"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’
15
"He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
16
"The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’
17
" ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
18
"The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’
19
"His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’
20
"Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
21
I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22
"His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?

Chapter 19
11
Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
12
Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13
So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this

15
“And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16
Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’
17
And he said to him, ‘Well
done,
good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18
And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’
19
Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

“Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
21
For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you,
you
wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
