after him,
saying, We wish not this man to reign over us. [19:15]And he returned,
having received the kingdom, and ordered those servants to be called to
him to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each one
had done.

6 [19:16]And the first came, saying, Lord, your mina [$16.33] has
gained ten minas. [19:17]And he said to him, Well, good servant;
because you have been faithful in the least, have authority over ten
cities. [19:18]And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina has made
five minas. [19:19]And he said to him, Be you over five cities.
[19:20]And the other came, saying, Lord, behold your mina, which I had
laid up in a napkin; [19:21]for I feared you, because you are an
austere man; you take up what you laid not down, and reap what you did
not sow. [19:22]He said to him, Out of your mouth will I judge you,
evil servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid
not down, and reaping what I did not sow? [19:23]then why did you not
put my silver on the [broker's] table, and when I came I should have
had the same, with interest? [19:24]And he said to those standing by,
Take from him the mina, and give it to him that has ten minas,--
[19:25]and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas,-- [19:26]for I

has not, even what he has shall be taken away; [19:27]but those my
enemies that wished me not to reign over them, bring hither and kill
them before me.

CHAPTER XXV.

CHRIST ENTERING JERUSALEM, AND PURIFYING THE TEMPLE.

1 [19:28]AND having said these things he went forward going up to
Jerusalem. [19:29]And when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at
the mountain called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
[19:30]saying, Go into the village opposite to you, and having entered
into it you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat; untie and
bring him; [19:31]and if any one asks you, Why do you untie him? Say
thus to him; The Lord has need of him. [19:32]And those sent, going,
found as he said to them. [19:33]And untying the colt, his owners said
to them, Why do you untie the colt? [19:34]And they said, The Lord has
need of him. [19:35]And they brought him to Jesus; and spreading their
clothes on the colt they put Jesus on him. [19:36]And as he proceeded
they spread their clothes in the way. [19:37]And when he was now
approaching, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, all the multitude
