Context 12So He said, A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. 13And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, Do business with this until I come back. 14But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us. 15When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done. 16The first appeared, saying, Master, your mina has made ten minas more. 17And he said to him, Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities. 18The second came, saying, Your mina, master, has made five minas. 19And he said to him also, And you are to be over five cities. 20Another came, saying, Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief; 21for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow. 22He said to him, By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? 23Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest? 24Then he said to the bystanders, Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas. 25And they said to him, Master, he has ten minas already. 26I 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. 27But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence. Triumphal Entry 28After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples, 30saying, 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. 31If anyone asks you, Why are you untying it? you shall say, The Lord has need of it. 32So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them. 33As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt? 34They said, The Lord has need of it. 35They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road. 37As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen, 38shouting: 39Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, Teacher, rebuke Your disciples. 40But Jesus answered, I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out! 41When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, 42saying, If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. 43For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, 44and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation. Traders Driven from the Temple 45Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling, 46saying to them, It is written, AND MY HOUSE SHALL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER, but you have made it a ROBBERS DEN. 47And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him, 48and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.
