New Testament

Luke 19:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. He said: “A very important man went to a country far away to be made a king and then to return home.

13. So he called ten of his servants and gave a coin to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money until I get back.’

14. But the people in the kingdom hated the man. So they sent a group to follow him and say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15. “But the man became king. When he returned home, he said, ‘Call those servants who have my money so I can know how much they earned with it.’

16. “The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, I earned ten coins with the one you gave me.’

17. The king said to the servant, ‘Excellent! You are a good servant. Since I can trust you with small things, I will let you rule over ten of my cities.’
