¹⁴ But ·the people in the kingdom [^Lhis citizens/subjects] hated the man. So they sent a ·group [delegation; embassy] to follow him and say, ‘We don’t want this man to ·be our king [^Lrule/reign over us].’

¹⁵ “But the man ·became king [^Lreceived the kingdom]. When he returned home, he said, ‘Call those ·servants [slaves] who have my money so I can know how much they earned with it.’

¹⁶ “The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, ·I earned ten coins with the one you gave me [^Lyour mina has earned ten minas].’
