Luke 19:13 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 19.

9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’

15 When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

16 The first servant came forward and said, ‘Master, your mina has produced ten more minas.’

17 His master replied, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
