Luke 19:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
13 And having called ten of his own slaves, he gave them ten minas[a] and said to them, ‘Do business while I am coming’. 14 But his citizens were hating him, and they sent-forth a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to be-king over us’. 15 And it came about at his return, having received the kingdom, that he said that these slaves to whom he had given the money should be called to him in order that he might come-to-know what they gained-through-doing-business.
