Luke 19:17-35

¹⁷And he said to him, Well done, good servant! because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.

¹⁸And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

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

²⁰And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin.

²¹For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

²²He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;

²³why then didst thou not put my money into a bank? Then I at my coming might have received it back with interest.

²⁴And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds.

²⁵(And they said to him, He hath ten pounds, Lord.)

²⁶I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.

²⁷But as for those enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me.

²⁸And when he had thus spoken, he went forward, going up to Jerusalem.

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

³⁰saying, Go to the village over against us; on entering which ye will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever sat; and loose, and bring it.

³¹And if any one ask you, Why are ye loosing it? ye shall say thus, The Lord hath need of it.

³²And they who were sent went and found just as he told them.

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

³⁴And they said, The Lord hath need of it.

³⁵And they brought it to Jesus; and having thrown their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
