    In Luke 19:13 the accusative plural occurs with the giving of units to ten slaves and the command to trade. In Luke 19:16 and Luke 19:18, the nominative singular identifies the entrusted unit, while the plural names the additional units reported as gained; in Luke 19:20, the singular is the unit kept laid away. In Luke 19:24 and Luke 19:25, singular and plural forms occur in the command to take one unit away and give it to the person who has ten.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently uses “mina” or “minas” for the units given, gained, stored, taken away, and given to another. These English forms confirm the verse-level presentation rather than isolate every individual token.
