22The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words MTY that you have just now spoken. ◄You know that I do not do foolish things with my money./Did you not know that I do not do foolish things with my money?► RHQ You said that I even take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer who harvests grain from another man's field where he did not even do the planting.
23So ◄you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not at least give my money to bankers?► RHQ Then when I returned I could have collected that amount plus the interest it would have earned!’
24Then the king said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to the servant who has ten coins!’
25They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten coins!’
26But the king said, ‘I tell you this: To the people who use well what they have received, more will be given { I will give more}. But from the people who do not use well what they have received, even what they already have will be taken away { I will take away even what they already have}.
27Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
28After Jesus said those things, he continued on the road up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
29When they got near Bethphage and Bethany villages, near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive Tree Hill,
30he said to two of his disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of you. As you two enter it, you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it to me.
31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32So the two disciples went to the village and found the animal, just like he had told them.
33As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
34They replied, “The Lord needs it.” So the owners said that they could take it.
35The two disciples brought the animal to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal's back for him to sit on and helped Jesus get on it.
36Then as he rode along, others spread their cloaks on the road to honor him.
37As they came near to Jerusalem, on the road that descends from Olive Tree Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen Jesus do.
