And as they heard these things, He (Jesus) added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear. (Luke 19:11)
At samantalang pinakikinggan nila ang mga bagay na ito, ay dinugtungan Niya (ni Jesus) at sinalita ang isang talinghaga, sapagkat Siya y malapit na sa Jerusalem, at sapagkat kanilang inakala na pagdaka y mahahayag ang Kaharian ng Diyos. (Lucas 19: 11)
