Luke 19:17

Context
19:17 And the king 1  said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful 2  in a very small matter, you will have authority 3  over ten cities.’

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the nobleman of v. 12, now a king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn See Luke 16:10.

3 sn The faithful slave received expanded responsibility (authority over ten cities) as a result of his faithfulness; this in turn is an exhortation to faithfulness for the reader.
