The Minas

Lukas 19:11–27

What Yeshua is saying

A nobleman gives ten servants one mina each to invest while he goes to receive a kingdom; on return he rewards according to gain and judges those who refused him.

The explanation

Yeshua tells this approaching Yerushalayim, where the crowd thought the Kingdom would arrive immediately. He corrects them: the King goes away first, and returns. In the meantime, faithfulness with what was given, not the size of the trust, determines reward. And those who refuse the King's reign do not escape it.
