ΝΑΜΑΤΑ ΓΛΥΚΥΡΡΟΙΑ: 'I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'

37 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως.
38 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά: γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν.
39 καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη μαριάμ, [ἣ] καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ.
40 ἡ δὲ μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν: ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται.
41 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, μάρθα μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά,
42 ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία: μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἥτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς.

'I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.'

Luke 19:12-28

The Lord said this parable, "A nobleman went into a far country to
receive a kingdom and then return. Calling ten of his servants, he gave
them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Trade with these till I come.' But
his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do
not want this man to reign over us.' When 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. The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your pound
has made ten pounds more.' And he said to him, 'Well done, good
servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have
authority over ten cities.' And the second came, saying, 'Lord, your pound
has made five pounds.' And he said to him, 'And you are to be over
five cities.' Then another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your pound,
which I kept laid away in a napkin; for 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.' He 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? Why
then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should
have collected it with interest?' And he said to those who stood by,
'Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
(And they said to him, 'Lord, he has ten pounds!') 'I tell you, that
to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not,
even what he has will be taken away. But as for these enemies of mine,
who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them
before me.'" And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to
Jerusalem.
