Luke 19:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ But the people of his country hated him, and they sent messengers to the foreign country to say, “We don't want this man to be our king.”

¹⁵ After the prince had been made king, he returned and called in his servants. He asked them how much they had earned with the money they had been given.

¹⁶ The first servant came and said, “Sir, with the money you gave me I have earned ten times as much.”
