Luke 19:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Jesus knew that the people thought this, so he told them this story: “A very important man was preparing to go to a country far away to be made a king. Then he planned to return home and rule his people. ¹³ So the man called ten of his servants together. He gave a bag of money^[a] to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money till I get back.’ ¹⁴ But the people in the kingdom hated the man. So they sent a group to follow him and say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king!’
