9 Jesus said to him, “Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham.
10 The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus continued and told them a parable. He was now almost at Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was just about to appear.
12 So he said, “There was once a man of high rank who was going to a country far away to be made king, after which he planned to come back home.
13 Before he left, he called his ten servants and gave them each a gold coin and told them, ‘See what you can earn with this while I am gone.’
14 Now, his own people hated him, and so they sent messengers after him to say, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.’
15 “The man was made king and came back. At once he ordered his servants to appear before him, in order to find out how much they had earned.
