Luke 19:18-30

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ “The second came and said, ‘Master, your mina has made five minas.’

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘You will be over five towns.’

²⁰ “And another came and said, ‘Master, here is your mina. I have kept it safe in a cloth ²¹ because I was afraid of you since you’re a harsh man: you collect what you didn’t deposit and reap what you didn’t sow.’^(A)

²² “He told him, ‘I will condemn you by what you have said, you evil servant! If you knew I was a harsh man, collecting what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow, ²³ why, then, didn’t you put my money in the bank? And when I returned, I would have collected it with interest.’ ²⁴ So he said to those standing there, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

²⁵ “But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’

²⁶ “‘I tell you, that to everyone who has, more will be given; and from the one who does not have, even what he does have will be taken away.^{(B) 27} But bring here these enemies of mine,^(C) who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter^[a] them in my presence.’”

The Triumphal Entry

²⁸ When^(D) he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.^{(E) 29} As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives,^(F) he sent two of the disciples ³⁰ and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.
