Luke 19:12-14

The Voice

Jesus: ¹² A ruler once planned a journey to a distant country to take the throne of that country and then return home. ¹³ Before his departure, he called 10 of his servants and gave them each about three months of wages.^[a] “Use this money to buy and sell until I return.” ¹⁴ After he departed, the people under his rule despised him and sent messengers with a clear message: “We do not want this man to rule over us.”
