Luke 19:9-20 in English

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.

²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

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

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

¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

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

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

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

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

¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

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

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, Today is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.

²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today God has forgiven PRS you and the other people in MTY this house, because you (sg) also have shown that you have trusted in God as your ancestor Abraham did.

¹⁰ Remember this: I, the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save people like you(sg) who have gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his lost sheep.”

¹¹ They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were going with Jesus who heard him say these things thought that as soon as he got to Jerusalem he would become their king.

¹² So he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that the Emperor would make him a king. He intended to return later.

¹³ Before he left, he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months' wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ Then he left.

¹⁴ But many of his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell the Emperor, ‘We (exc) do not want this man to be our king!’

¹⁵ But the Emperor made him king anyway. Later the new king returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.

¹⁶ The first man came to him and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin I have earned ten more coins!’

¹⁷ He said to this man, ‘ You are a good servant! You have done very well! Because you have handled faithfully a small amount of money, I will give you authority to rule ten cities.’

¹⁸ Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin I have earned five more coins!’

¹⁹ He said to that servant similarly, ‘ Good! I will give you authority to rule five cities.’

²⁰ Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, so that nothing would happen to it.

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

¹³ He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

¹³ He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

¹³ He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

⁹ And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

¹¹ And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

¹² So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

¹³ And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

¹⁴ But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.

¹⁵ And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

¹⁶ And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

¹⁷ And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

¹⁸ And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.

¹⁹ And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.

²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;

⁹ And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

¹¹ But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

¹² He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

¹³ And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this man should reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came up, saying, My Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

¹⁷ And 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.

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

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

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

⁹ Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.

¹² He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

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

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

¹⁹ And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.

²⁰ And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;

⁹ And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ Now as they heard these things, He told another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

¹² Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

¹³ And having called ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded those servants to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, so that he might know who gained what by trading.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’

¹⁷ And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina made five minas.’

¹⁹ Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

²⁰ “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, behold your mina, which I had laid away in a handkerchief.

⁹ So Jesus said about him, “Today salvation has happened in this house, in that he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ because the Son of the Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ Now as they heard these things, He continued with a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they were supposing that the Kingdom of God was on the verge of being revealed.

¹² So He said: “A certain nobleman went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

¹³ He called ten of his slaves, gave them ten ‘minas’, and said to them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ It happened that he did receive the kingdom, and upon returning he ordered that those slaves to whom he had given the money be called to him, to know who had gained what by trading.

¹⁶ So the first one came and said, ‘Master, your mina earned ten minas!’

¹⁷ He said to him: ‘Super, you good slave! Because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities!’

¹⁸ And the second one came and said, ‘Master, your mina made five minas.’

¹⁹ Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

²⁰ Then a different one came, saying: ‘Master, here is your mina, that I kept laid away in a piece of cloth

⁹ In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”

¹¹ While they were still paying attention, Jesus told them a story for they were close to Jerusalem and the people thought that God's kingdom was going to become a reality right away.

¹² “Once there was a nobleman who left home to go to a distant country to be crowned king there, and then to return.

¹³ He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’

¹⁴ But his people hated him, and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We won't have this man as king over us.’

¹⁵ After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.

¹⁶ The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’

¹⁷ ‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’

¹⁸ The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’

¹⁹ ‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.

²⁰ Another servant came in and said, ‘Lord, look, here's your money back. I kept it safe, wrapped up in a cloth.

⁹ Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.

¹¹ And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.

¹² He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.

¹³ And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.

¹⁴ Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.

¹⁵ And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.

¹⁷ And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.

¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.

¹⁹ And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.

²⁰ So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:

⁹ And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

¹⁶ Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

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

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

¹⁹ And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

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

⁹ And Jesus said to him, This day hath salvation come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁰ for the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹¹ And while they were hearing these things, he proceeded and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.

¹² He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Trade with these, till I come.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what each had gained by trading.

¹⁶ And the first came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

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

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

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

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

⁹ “Salvation has come to this house today,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.”

¹¹ As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.

¹² He said, “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.

¹³ He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.

¹⁴ But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our king.’

¹⁵ On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.

¹⁶ The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’

¹⁷ ‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’

¹⁸ When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’

¹⁹ So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’

²⁰ Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.

⁹ “Salvation has come to this house today,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.”

¹¹ As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.

¹² He said, “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.

¹³ He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.

¹⁴ But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our king.’

¹⁵ On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.

¹⁸ When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’

¹⁹ So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’

²⁰ Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.

⁹ Yeshua Salvation said to him, “Today, yishu'ah ·salvation· has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham Father of a multitude.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹ As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem City of peace, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to teshuvah ·completely return·.

¹³ He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina 500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina 50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg has made ten more minas 500 sheckles; 12.5 lb; 5.67 kg.’

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina 50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg, Lord, has made five minas 250 sheckles; 6.25 lb; 2.835 kg.’

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina 50 sheckles; 1.25 lb; 0.57 kg, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

⁹ Then Jesus told everybody there, “God saved this man right now, today. And he saved everybody at his place, too. You see, this man is one of God’s people now, just like Abraham, because he believes in me just like Abraham believed in God.

¹⁰ You see, I am God’s special man from heaven, and I came to earth to look for people who went wrong and got lost, so that I can save them.”

⁹ And Iesus sayd to him: this daye is healthe come vnto this housse for as moche as it also is become the chylde of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the sonne of man is come to seke and to save that which was looste.

¹¹ As they hearde these thinges he added ther to a similitude be cause he was nye to Hierusalem and because also they thought that the kyngdome of God shuld shortely appere.

¹² He sayde therfore: a certayne noble man wet into a farre countre to receave him a kyngdome and then to come agayne.

¹³ And he called his ten servauntes and delyvered them ten pounde sayinge vnto them: by and sell till I come.

¹⁴ But his citesens hated him and sent messengers after him sayinge: We will not have this man to raygne over vs.

¹⁵ And it came to passe when he was come agayne and had receaved his kyngdome he commaunded these servautes to be called to him (to whom he gave his money) to witt what every man had done.

¹⁶ Then came the fyrst sayinge: Lorde thy pounde hath encreased ten poude.

¹⁷ And he sayde vnto him: Well good servaute because thou wast faithfull in a very lytell thynge take thou auctorite over ten cities.

¹⁸ And the other came sayinge: Lorde thy poude hath encreased fyve pounde.

¹⁹ And to the same he sayde: and be thou also ruler ouer fyve cities.

²⁰ And the thyrde came and sayde: Lorde beholde here thy pounde which I have kepte in a napkyn

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the people who are lost.”

¹¹ As they heard these things, he continued speaking and told a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to appear immediately.

¹² He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then to return.

¹³ He called ten of his servants, and gave them ten minas, and said to them, 'Conduct business until I come back.'

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man rule over us.'

¹⁵ It happened when he came back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded the servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what profit they had made by doing business.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.'

¹⁷ The nobleman said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful in very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'

¹⁸ The second came, saying, 'Your mina, lord, has made five minas.'

¹⁹ The nobleman said to him, 'You take charge over five cities.'
