     9.  We had the alright to receive support, but instead we wanted to be good examples for you.
    10.  While we were with you, we told you that if anyone doesn't work, then he shouldn't eat.

    17.  The king said, 'You are a good worker.  You took-care-of a little thing.  Now you will reign over ten cities.
    18.  And the second worker came saying, 'King, your one coin increased to five.'
    19.  And the king said to him, 'You will be-responsible for five cities.'
    20.  Another worker came, 'King, see.  Here is your money.  I kept your money hidden in a CLOTH.
    21.  You scare me.  You are a strict man.'
    22.  The king said to him, 'I condemn you with your words.  You know I am a strict man.  I grab and keep things that aren't mine.
    23.  Why didn't you put my money in the BANK?  Then after I arrived home, I would receive my money plus interest.'
    24.  Then the king said, 'Take his money and give the money to the man that earned ten coins.'
    25.  And the workers said to the king, 'But he finished has ten coins.'
    26.  'I tell you, the person that has, he will receive more.  But the person that has nothing, his nothing will be-taken-away.
    27.  My enemies don't-want me to become their king.  Bring my enemies here and kill them here.'"
