Luke 19:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² He therefore said, A certain nobleman went into a distant country to obtain for himself a kingdom and then to return.

¹³ Calling ten of his [own] bond servants, he gave them ten minas [each equal to about one hundred days’ wages or nearly twenty dollars] and said to them, ^[a]Buy and sell with these ^[b]while I go and then return.

¹⁴ But his citizens detested him and sent an embassy after him to say, We do not want this man to become ruler over us.
