And if I have extorted anything from anyone, I'll pay back four times as much!"G1161G2195G2476G2036G4314G2962G2400G2962G2255G3450G5224G1325G4434G2532G1536G4811G1536G5100G4811G591G50739"Today salvation has come to this house," Jesus told him, "because he too is a son of Abraham.G1161G2424G2036G4314G846G3754G4594G1096G4991G1096G5129G3624G2530G846G2532G2076G5207G1110For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost."G1063G5207G444G2064G2212G2532G4982G62211As they were listening to this, He went on to tell a parable because He was near Jerusalem, and they thought the kingdom of God was going to appear right away.G1161G846G191G5023G4369G2036G3850G1223G846G1511G1451G2419G2532G846G1380G3754G932G2316G3195G3916G39812Therefore He said: "A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king and then return.G2036G3767G5100G444G2104G4198G1519G3117G5561G2983G1438G932G2532G529013He called 10 of his slaves, gave them 10 minas, and told them, 'Engage in business until I come back.'G1161G2564G1438G1176G1401G1325G846G1176G3414G2532G2036G4314G846G4231G2193G206414"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to rule over us!'G1161G846G4177G3404G846G2532G649G4242G3694G846G3004G2309G3756G2309G5126G936G1909G224815"At his return, having received the authority to be king, he summoned those slaves he had given the money to so he could find out how much they had made in business.G2532G1096G1722G846G1880G2983G932G2532G2036G5128G1401G5455G846G3739G1325G694G2443G1097G5101G5101G128116The first came forward and said, 'Master, your mina has earned 10 more minas.'G1161G3854G4413G3004G2962G4675G3414G4333G1176G341417" 'Well done, good slave!' he told him. 'Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, have authority over 10 towns.'G2532G2036G846G2095G18G1401G3754G1096G4103G1722G1646G2192G2468G1849G1883G1176G417218"The second came and said, 'Master, your mina has made five minas.'G2532G1208G2064G3004G2962G4675G3414G4160G4002G341419"So he said to him, 'You will be over five towns.'G1161G2036G2532G5129G1096G4771G2532G1883G4002G417220"And another came and said, 'Master, here is your mina. I have kept it hidden away in a clothG2532G2087G2064G3004G2962G2400G4675G3414G3739G2192G606G1722G467621because I was afraid of you, for you're a tough man: you collect what you didn't deposit and reap what you didn't sow.'G1063G5399G4571G3754G1488G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468722"He told him, 'I will judge you by what you have said, you evil slave! [If] you knew I was a tough man, collecting what I didn't deposit and reaping what I didn't sow,G1161G3004G846G1537G4675G4750G2919G4571G4190G1401G1492G3754G1473G1510G840G444G142G3739G5087G3756G5087G2532G2325G3739G4687G3756G468723why didn't you put my money in the bank?

As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.G2036G5217G1519G2968G2713G1722G3739G1531G2147G4454G1210G1909G3739G3762G444G2523G4455G3089G846G7131If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say this: 'The Lord needs it.'"G2532G1437G5100G2065G5209G1302G3089G3779G2046G846G3754G2962G2192G5532G84632So those who were sent left and found it just as He had told them.G1161G649G565G2147G2531G2036G84633As they were untying the young donkey, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the donkey?"G1161G846G3089G4454G2962G846G2036G4314G846G5101G3089G445434"The Lord needs it," they said.G1161G2036G2962G2192G5532G84635Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their robes on the donkey, they helped Jesus get on it.G2532G71G846G4314G2424G2532G1977G1438G2440G1909G1977G4454G1977G1913G2424G191336As He was going along, they were spreading their robes on the road.G1161G846G4198G5291G846G2440G1722G359837Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:G846G1448G1161G2235G4314G2600G3735G1636G537G4128G3101G756G5463G134G2316G3173G5456G4012G3956G1411G3739G149238Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.
