Luke 19:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ “The citizens of his own country hated him. They sent representatives to follow him and say ⌞to the person who was going to appoint him⌟, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

¹⁵ “After he was appointed king, he came back. Then he said, ‘Call those servants to whom I gave money. I want to know how much each one has made by investing.’

¹⁶ “The first servant said, ‘Sir, the coin you gave me has earned ten times as much.’
