Luke 19:15-19

¹⁵After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.

¹⁶The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’

¹⁷‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’

¹⁸The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’

¹⁹‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.
