Luke 19:21-31

21 for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.'

22 "He said to him, 'By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

23 'Then why * did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?'

24 "Then he said to the bystanders, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'

25 "And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas already.'

26 "¹I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

27 "But ²these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and ³slay them in my presence."

Triumphal Entry

28 After He had said these things, He ⁴was going on ahead, ⁵going up to Jerusalem.

29 ⁶When He approached Bethphage and ⁷Bethany, near the mount that is called ⁸Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

30 saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one * yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

31 "If anyone asks you, 'Why * are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.' "
