Luke 19:9-19

9 And Iesus sayd to him: this daye is healthe come vnto this housse for as moche as it also is become the chylde of Abraha.

10 For the sonne of ma is come to seke and to save that which was looste.

11 As they hearde these thinges he added ther to a similitude be cause he was nye to Hierusalem and because also they thought that the kyngdome of God shuld shortely appere.

12 He sayde therfore: a certayne noble man wet into a farre countre to receave him a kyngdome and then to come agayne.

13 And he called his ten servauntes and delyvered them ten pounde sayinge vnto them: by and sell till I come.

14 But his citesens hated him and sent messengers after him sayinge: We will not have this man to raygne over vs.

15 And it came to passe when he was come agayne and had receaved his kyngdome he comaunded these servautes to be called to him (to whom he gave his money) to witt what every man had done.

16 Then came ye fyrst sayinge: Lorde thy pounde hath encreased ten poude.

17 And he sayde vnto him: Well good servaute because thou wast faithfull in a very lytell thynge take thou auctorite over ten cities.

18 And the other came sayinge: Lorde thy poude hath encreased fyve pounde.

19 And to ye same he sayde: and be thou also ruler ouer fyve cities.
