Christ Gives the Parable of the Ten Minas
11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because jthey thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 kTherefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten 5minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’ 14 lBut his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, m‘Well done, good servant; because you were nfaithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 oFor I feared you, because you are 6an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, p‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. qYou knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, rthat to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”
Matt. 21:1–9; Mark 11:1–10; John 12:12–19
28 When He had said this, sHe went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 tAnd it came to pass, when He drew near to 7Bethphage and uBethany, at the mountain called vOlivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ ”
32 So those who were sent went their way and found it just was He had said to them. 33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?”
34 And they said, “The Lord has need of him.” 35 Then they brought him to Jesus. xAnd they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. 36 And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.
37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to yrejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38 saying:
z“ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
aPeace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, bthe stones would immediately cry out.”
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and cwept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this dyour day, the things that emake for your fpeace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will gbuild an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 hand level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and ithey will not leave in you one stone upon another, jbecause you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Matt. 21:12, 13; Mark 11:15–17
45 kThen He went into the temple and began to drive out those who 8bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, “It is written, l‘My house 9is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a m‘den of thieves.’ ”
47 And He nwas teaching daily in the temple. But othe chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him, 48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to phear Him.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
