New Testament

Luke 19:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. The Human One came to seek and save the lost."

11. As they listened to this, Jesus told them another parable because he was near Jerusalem and they thought God’s kingdom would appear right away.

12. He said, “A certain man who was born into royalty went to a distant land to receive his kingdom and then return.

13. He called together ten servants and gave each of them money worth four months’ wages. He said, ‘Do business with this until I return.’

14. His citizens hated him, so they sent a representative after him who said, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15. After receiving his kingdom, he returned and called the servants to whom he had given the money to find out how much they had earned.
