Let's be loyal to the little things
Content 11 While they were hearing these words, he added a parable to them, because he had come near Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
12 He said to them, "When a nobleman is going to a distant country to receive the throne,
13 He called ten of his servants, gave them ten silver coins, and said, “Buy until I return.” The weight of gold and silver
14 But the people hated him, and sent messengers behind him, saying, We do not want this man to be our king.
15 When the nobleman returned with the throne, he called the servants who gave them silver coins to find out how each of them traded.
16 The first came and said, “Lord, I have left ten minas for you. Weight of gold and silver Weight of gold and silver
17 The master said, "Well done, good servant, for you have been faithful in the least of things. Take possession of the power of ten cities."
18 The second came and said, “Lord, I have made five minas for you. Weight of gold and silver Weight of gold and silver
19 The master said to him, "You also must possess five towns."
20 Another man came and said, "Lord, behold, here is your mina. I have wrapped it in a towel. The weight of gold and silver."
21 For I fear that you are a harsh man; you take what you did not put together, and reap what you did not sow.
22 The master said, "I judge you with your words, you wicked servant. Did you know that you were a strict man, taking what I did not put up, and reaping what I did not sow?"
23 Then why did you not put my money in the bank, then I would have come and found it with interest.
24 And he said to those standing by, Take the one mina and give it to the one who has the ten mina. Weight of gold and silver Weight of gold and silver
25 They said, "Lord, he already has ten minas. The weight of gold and silver
26 The master said, "I tell you, from everyone who has, even what he has will be taken from him."
27 And I said, "Bring here those enemies, who did not want me to be king, and slay them before me."
