10For the sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost. 11And as they heard these things, he added, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Hierusalem, and because they thought that the kingdome of God should immediately appeare. 12He said therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and to returne. 13And hee called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pounds, and said vnto them, Occupy till I come. 14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We wil not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
