Luke 19:12 BBE

¹⁰  For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

¹¹  And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.

¹²  So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

¹³  And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

¹⁴  But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.
