Luke 19:7-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
7When the people saw this, they all began to complain, saying, 'He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!' 8But Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, 'Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I am giving to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I am giving back four times as much.' 9And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.'
11Now 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.
12So He said, 'A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then to return.
13And 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.’
14But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
15When 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.
16The first slave appeared, saying, ‘ Master, your mina has made ten minas more.’
17And 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.’
King James Version
Chapter 19
7And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11And 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.
12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15And 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.
16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Chapter 19
7But the people were displeased. 'He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,' they grumbled.
9Jesus responded, 'Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham.
10For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.'
11The 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.
12He said, 'A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return.
13Before 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.’
14But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want him to be our king.’

7And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.
12He said therefore, “A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.
13Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Engage in business until I come.’

15When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.
16The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’
17And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

11Now 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.

13So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’
14But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
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.
16Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’
17And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
