42:019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
42:019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
42:019:011 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.
42:019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
42:019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
42:019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
42:019:015 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.
42:019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
42:019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
42:019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
