13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
13 Calling ten of his servants,
13 But first he called ten servants together, gave them each a sum of money, and instructed them, 'Operate with this until I return.'
13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'
13 Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying, 'Invest this for me while I am gone.'
16 "The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.'
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
16 The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.'
16 "The first said, 'Master, I doubled your money.'
16 Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.'
16 The first servant reported, 'Master, I invested your money and made ten times the original amount!'
(Read Luke 19:11-27)
This parable is like that of the talents, 1 Peter 4:10. The account required, resembles that in the parable of the talents; and the punishment of the avowed enemies of Christ, as well as of false professors, is shown. The principal difference is, that the pound given to each seems to point out the gift of the gospel, which is the same to all who hear it; but the talents, distributed more or less, seem to mean that God gives different capacities and advantages to men, by which this one gift of the gospel may be differently improved.
18 "The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.'
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
18 And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made five minas.'
18 "The second said, 'Master, I made a fifty percent profit on your money.'
18 And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.'
18 "The next servant reported, 'Master, I invested your money and made five times the original amount.'

20 "Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
20 Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief;

20 Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
20 "But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, 'Master, I hid your money and kept it safe.

24 "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.'
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
24 And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.'
24 "Then he said to those standing there, 'Take the money from him and give it to the servant who doubled my stake.'

24 "Then, turning to the others standing nearby, the king ordered, 'Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one who has ten pounds.'
