Luke 19:9-20

⁹Jesus saith to him, For today health is made to this house, for that he is Abraham’s son; (Jesus said to him, Today salvation or deliverance hath come to this house, because he too is Abraham’s son;)

¹⁰for man’s Son came to seek, and make safe that thing that perished. (for man’s Son came to seek, and to save those who were lost.)

¹¹When they heard these things, he added, and said a parable, for that he was nigh to Jerusalem, and for they guessed, that anon (or at once) 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(self) a kingdom, and to turn again (or and then to return home).

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

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent a messenger after him, and said, or Forsooth his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not, that he reign on us, (or We do not desire, that he reign over us, or We do not want him to rule over us).

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

¹⁶And the first came, and said, Lord, thy bezant hath won ten bezants, (or Lord, thy coin hath earned ten coins).

¹⁷He said to him, Well be, thou good servant; for in little thing thou hast been true, thou shalt be having power on ten cities or thou shalt have power upon ten cities. (He said to him, Well done, O good servant; because in a little thing thou hast been true, thou shalt have power over ten cities.)

¹⁸And the tother came, and said, Lord, thy bezant hath made five bezants. (And the next came, and said, Lord, thy coin hath earned five coins.)

¹⁹And to this he said, And be thou on five cities. (And to him he said, And thou shalt be over five cities.)

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