A Story about a King
11 Yeshua was getting closer to Jerusalem, and the people thought that the kingdom of God would appear suddenly. While Yeshua 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.’
