Apr 23 【每日活水】在最小的事上忠心

十锭银子的比喻

11 众人正在听见这些话的时候， YS 因为将近耶路撒冷，又因他们以为　 SHEN 的国快要显出来，就另设一个比喻，说：

12「有一个贵胄往远方去，要得国回来，

13 便叫了他的十个仆人来，交给他们十锭银子，说：『你们去做生意，直等我回来。』

14 他本国的人却恨他，打发使者随后去，说：『我们不愿意这个人作我们的王。』

15 他既得国回来，就吩咐叫那领银子的仆人来，要知道他们做生意赚了多少。

16 头一个上来，说：『主啊，你的一锭银子已经赚了十锭。』

17 主人说：『好！良善的仆人，你既在最小的事上有忠心，可以有权柄管十座城。』

18 第二个来，说：『主啊，你的一锭银子已经赚了五锭。』

19 主人说：『你也可以管五座城。』

20 又有一个来说：『主啊，看哪，你的一锭银子在这里，我把它包在手巾里存着。

21 我原是怕你，因为你是严厉的人；没有放下的，还要去拿，没有种下的，还要去收。』

22 主人对他说：『你这恶仆，我要凭你的口定你的罪。你既知道我是严厉的人，没有放下的，还要去拿，没有种下的，还要去收，

23 为什么不把我的银子交给银行，等我来的时候，连本带利都可以要回来呢？』

24 就对旁边站着的人说：『夺过他这一锭来，给那有十锭的。』

25 他们说：『主啊，他已经有十锭了。』

26 主人说：『我告诉你们，凡有的，还要加给他；没有的，连他所有的也要夺过来。

27 至于我那些仇敌，不要我作他们王的，把他们拉来，在我面前杀了吧！』」

The Parable of the Ten Minas

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 

12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.

13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’

17 “ ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’

18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’

19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth.

21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’

22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?

23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

25 “ ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.

27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’ ”
