"Or suppose a king is going to war against another king. He will first sit down and consider whether with 10,000 men he can fight the one coming against him with 20,000 men, won't he?

"After he was appointed king, the prince came back. He ordered the servants to whom he had given the money to be called so he could find out what they had earned by investing.

The king told him, "Well done, good servant! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.'

The king told him, "You take charge of five cities.'

The king told him, "I will judge you by your own words, you evil servant! You knew, did you, that I was a hard man, and that I withdraw what I didn't deposit and harvest what I didn't plant?

"So the king told those standing nearby, "Take the coin away from him and give it to the man who has the ten coins.'

But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!'"

They said, "How blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!"

Then Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" He answered, "You say so."

saying, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!"
