12. and Jesus told them this story:A prince once went to a foreign country to be crowned king and then to return.
13. But before leaving, he called in ten servants and gave each of them some money. He told them, “Use this to earn more money until I get back.”
14. But the people of his country hated him, and they sent messengers to the foreign country to say, “We don't want this man to be our king.”
15. After the prince had been made king, he returned and called in his servants. He asked them how much they had earned with the money they had been given.
