Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, & reaping that I did not sowe. 23 Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage? 24 And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces. 25 (And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.) 26 For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
