Luke 19:11-13

21st Century King James Version

¹¹ And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Make use of it till I come.’
