Jesus continues to tell the parable he began in [Luke 19:11](../11.md).

# gave them ten minas

"gave each of them one mina"

# ten minas

A mina was 600 grams, probably of silver. Each mina was equal to 100 days' wages, what people would be paid for about four months' work, so ten minas would have been about three years' wages.

# Conduct business

"Trade with this money" or "Use this money in order to earn more"

# his citizens

"the people of his country"

# a delegation

"a group of people to represent them" or "several messengers"

# It happened

This phrase is used here to mark an important event in the story. If your language has a way for doing this, you could consider using it here.

# to be called to him

This can be stated in active form. AT: "to come to him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# what profit they had made
