19 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

11As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.The Parable of the Ten Pounds Lk.19.11-27 (Jericho) | Mt.25.14-30Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς εἶπεν παραβολὴν διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς εἶναι Ἰερουσαλὴμ αὐτὸν καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι.
12He said therefore, "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom and then return.  εἶπεν οὖν, Ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
13Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Trade with these till I come.'  καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ ἐδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, Πραγματεύσασθε ἐν ᾧ ἐρχομαι.
14But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.' οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, Οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφ' ἡμᾶς.
15When he returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ εἶπεν φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς δεδώκει τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα γνοῖ τί διεπραγματεύσαντο.
16The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.'  παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων, Κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου δέκα προσηργάσατο μνᾶς.
17And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'  καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Εὖγε, ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε, ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἰσθι ἐξουσίαν ἐχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.
18And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'  καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων, Ἡ μνᾶ σου, κύριε, ἐποίησεν πέντε μνᾶς.
19And he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'  εἶπεν δὲ καὶ τούτῳ, Καὶ σὺ ἐπάνω γίνου πέντε πόλεων.
20Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin;  καὶ ὁ ἑτερος ἦλθεν λέγων, Κύριε, ἰδοὺ ἡ μνᾶ σου ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ·
21for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.' ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ, αἰρεις ὃ οὐκ ἐθηκας καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἐσπειρας.
22He said to him, 'I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?  λέγει αὐτῷ, Ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρίνω σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ᾐδεις ὅτι ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι, αἰρων ὃ οὐκ ἐθηκα καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἐσπειρὰ
23Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?'  καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἐδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν; κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν σὺν τόκῳ ἂν αὐτὸ ἐπραξα.
24And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'  καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν, Ἄρατε ἀπ' αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν καὶ δότε τῷ τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἐχοντι
25(And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds!)  – καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Κύριε, ἐχει δέκα μνᾶς.
26'I tell you, that to everyone who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.  λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἐχοντι δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἐχοντος καὶ ὃ ἐχει ἀρθήσεται.
27But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.' " πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου τούτους τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἐμπροσθέν μου.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
