So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
In context
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11 While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.
12 So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.
13 Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.
14 But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want this man to rule over us.’
