Luke 19:9-20

⁹Jesus saith to him, For today health is made to this house, for that he is Abraham’s son;

¹⁰for man’s Son came to seek, and make safe that thing that perished.

¹¹When they heard these things, he added, and said a parable, for that he was nigh to Jerusalem, and for they guessed, that anon the kingdom of God should be showed.

¹²Therefore he said, A worthy man or Some noble man went into a far country, to take to him a kingdom, and to turn again.

¹³And when his ten servants were called, he gave to them ten bezants; and said to them, Chaffer or Merchandize ye, till I come.

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a messenger after him, and said, We will not, that he reign on us.

¹⁵And it was done, that he turned again, when he had taken the kingdom; and he commanded his servants to be called, to which he had given money, to know, how much each had won by chaffering.

¹⁶And the first came, and said, Lord, thy bezant hath won ten bezants.

¹⁷He said to him, Well be, thou good servant; for in little thing thou hast been true, thou shalt be having or have power on ten cities.

¹⁸And the tother came, and said, Lord, thy bezant hath made five bezants.

¹⁹And to this he said, And be thou on five cities.

²⁰And the third came, and said, Lord, lo! thy bezant, that I had, put up or kept in a sudarium, or sweating cloth.
