Luke 19:22-32

22 He said to him, "You bad servant! I will use your own words to condemn you! You know that I am a hard man, taking what is not mine and reaping what I have not planted.
23 Well, then, why didn't you put my money in the bank? Then I would have received it back with interest when I returned.'
24 Then he said to those who were standing there, "Take the gold coin away from him and give it to the servant who has ten coins.'
25 But they said to him, "Sir, he already has ten coins!'
26 "I tell you,' he replied, "that to those who have something, even more will be given; but those who have nothing, even the little that they have will be taken away from them. 1
27 Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them in my presence!' " 2
28 After Jesus said this, he went on in front of them toward Jerusalem.
29 As he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead
30 with these instructions: "Go to the village there ahead of you; as you go in, you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31 If someone asks you why you are untying it, tell him that the Master needs it."
32 They went on their way and found everything just as Jesus had told them.
