Luke 19:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

A Story about a King

¹¹ Jesus was getting closer to Jerusalem, and the people thought that God’s kingdom would appear suddenly. While Jesus had the people’s attention, he used this illustration. ¹² He said, “A prince went to a distant country to be appointed king, and then he returned. ¹³ ⌞Before he left,⌟ he called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins. He said to his servants, ‘Invest this money until I come back.’
