Expanded Bible

¹⁵ “But the man ·became king [^Lreceived the kingdom]. When he returned home, he said, ‘Call those ·servants [slaves] who have my money so I can know how much they earned with it.’

¹⁶ “The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, ·I earned ten coins with the one you gave me [^Lyour mina has earned ten minas].’ ¹⁷ The king said to the servant, ‘Excellent! ·You are a good servant [Good servant/slave!]. Since ·I can trust you [you have been faithful] with small things, I will let you ·rule [govern; ^Lhave authority] over ten of my cities.’
