Luke 19:23-31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

23. Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?'

24. Then he said to the bystanders, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'

25. And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas already.'

26. I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.

27. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."

28. After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29. When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

30. saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

31. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.'"
