proceeded to tell a parable,
because they supposed that the
kingdom of God was to appear
immediately
12
He said therefore, “A nobleman
went into a far country to receive
for himself a kingdom and then
return

13
Calling ten of his servants, he
gave them ten minas, and said to
them, ‘Engage in business until I
come.’

 LUKE 19:14-16
But his citizens hated him and
14​ sent a delegation after him
saying, ‘We do not want this man
to reign over us.’

When he returned, having

15 received the kingdom, he ordered
these servants to whom he had
given the money to be called to
him, that he might know what
they had gained by doing
business
The first came before him saying,
16 ‘Lord, your mina has made ten
minas more.’

Then another came, for I was afraid of you,
saying, ‘Lord, here is because you are a severe

laid away in a did not deposit, and reap
handkerchief; what you did not sow.’
22
He said to him, ‘I will
condemn you with your own
words, you wicked servant!
You knew that I was a severe
man, taking what I did not
deposit and reaping what I
did not sow?

Why then did you not put my

23​ money in the bank, and at my
coming I might have collected it
with interest?’

And he said to those who stood

24 by, ‘Take the mina from him, and
give it to the one who has the ten
minas.’

And they said to him, ‘Lord, he

25 has ten minas!’

‘I tell you that to everyone who
has, more will be given, but from
the one who has not, even what he
has will be taken away.

But as for these enemies of mine,
who did not want me to reign over
them, bring them here and

Answer these questions:

How did the first two servants

I show good stewardship of the
minas entrusted to them?

Why did the master get angry with

II the third servant? How did the

servant mismanage his master’s
resources?

What resources or gifts entrusted to

III you have you been putting to

productive use? How about those
you have not managed well?
