Luke 19:11-13

New Life Version

The Picture-Story of the Ten Servants and the Money

¹¹ As they heard these things, Jesus told them a picture-story. Because He was near Jerusalem, they thought the holy nation of God would come at once. ¹² So Jesus said, “A leader of a country went to another country far away. A nation was to be given to him, then he would return home. ¹³ He called ten of the servants he owned. He gave them ten pieces of money and said to them, ‘Put this money to use until I return.’
