19. So he said to this one also, ‘And you be over five cities.’
20. And another came, saying, ‘Sir, behold your mina, which I had put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.
21. For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man—you withdraw what you did not deposit, and you reap what you did not sow!’
22. He said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, wicked slave! You knew that I am a severe man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
23. And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, when I returned, would have collected it with interest?’
24. And to the bystanders he said, ‘Take away from him the mina and give it to the one who has the ten minas!’
25. And they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas.’
26. ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given. But from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27. But these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!’ ”
28. And after he had said these things, he traveled on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29. And it happened that when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30. saying, ‘Go into the village in front of you, in which as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no person has ever sat, and untie it and bring it.
31. And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
32. So those who were sent went and found it just as he had told them.
33. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’
34. So they said, ‘The Lord has need of it.’
35. And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they put Jesus on it.
