 17And he said to him, Well [done] thou good bondman, because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.
 18And the second came saying, Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
 19And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
 20And the other came, saying, Lord, behold thy mina which I kept laid up in a napkin.
 21For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst now sow.
 22He says to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, wicked bondman. Thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow.
 23And why gavest thou not my money into a bank, and at my coming I should have received it with interest?
 24And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him that hath ten.
 25And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
 26I say unto you, that to everyone that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not that even which he hath shall be taken.
 27Moreover, those mine enemies who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
 28And when he had said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
 29And it came to pass when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, towards the mountain called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
 30saying, Go away into the village over against you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, on which not one of men ever sat: loose and bring it.
 31And if anyone ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of it.
 32And they that were sent, having gone away, found even as he had said to them.
 33And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
 34And they said, Because the Lord hath need of it.
 35And they brought it to Jesus; and, having cast their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon;
 36and, as he went, they strewed their garments in the way.
 37And as he was drawing near, already at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began with rejoicing to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
 38saying, Blessed the King that cometh in Jehovah's name: in heaven peace, and glory in [the] highest.
 39And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
 40And answering he said, I say unto you that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
 41And when he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it,
 42saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes.
 43For days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall make a rampart about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side,
 44and level thee with the ground and thy children in thee; and not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation. (Luke 19:14‑44)
