13 He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten minas, 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 It happened, when he had come back again, 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 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 in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.`
18 The second came, saying, `Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.`
19 He said to him also, `You also are to be over five cities.`
