The parable about three servants

19:11 The parable about three servants

(Mat. 25:14-30)

11Then Yeshua went on to tell a parable to those who heard all that because he was getting near to Yerushalem and they had assumed that God’s kingdom was going appear straight away. 12Because of that, he told them, “Once a man of high status was going to a distant country to inherit a kingdom, and then to return after that. 13So he called his ten slaves and gave them ten silver coins and told them to put them to work until he got back. 14But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation out to him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

15But he received his kingdom and then he headed back and sent for those slaves that he had given the silver to, to find out how well they’d traded. 16The first slave arrived and said, ‘Master, I used your silver coin to earn ten more coins.’ 17‘Well done good slave,’ he said, ‘and because you were faithful with a little, I’ll put you in charge of ten cities.’ 18Then the second slave came and said, ‘Your silver master, gained five more coins.’ 19‘You too,’ the master said, ‘will be put in charge of five cities.’ 20Then another slave came and said, ‘Master, look, here’s your silver that I kept hidden away wrapped in a handkerchief 21because I was scared of you, knowing that you’re a hard man—picking up what you didn’t put down, and harvesting where you didn’t sow.’ 22‘I’ll judge you by your own words,’ the master said, ‘you evil slave! You knew that I’m a hard man, picking up what I didn’t put down, and harvesting what I didn’t sow. 23So why didn’t you take my silver to the bank? Then went I returned, at least I would have been able to collect some interest.’ 24Then the master told the others who were standing there, ‘Take the silver coin away from him and give it to the slave who has the ten.’ 25But they protested, ‘Master, he already has ten coins.’ 26[ref]‘I’m telling you all,’ the master replied, ‘that everyone who has, will be given more, but the person who doesn’t have, even what they have will be taken away from them. 27[ref]However, about those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them: bring them here and strike them down in front of me.’
