Luke 19:17-35

¹⁷And he said to him, Well done, thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, My Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

¹⁹And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.

²⁰And another came, saying, My Lord, lo, there is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

²¹For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

²²He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

²³And why didst thou not give my money to the bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

²⁴And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give it to him who has the ten minas.

²⁵And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

²⁶For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

²⁷Moreover those mine enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

²⁸And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰saying, Go into the village over against you, in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no child of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it here.

³¹And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

³²And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

³³And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

³⁴And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.

³⁵And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on it.
