Luke 19:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.

¹² He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³ And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.
