You knew that I was an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest? 24 And he said to those who stood by, Take the pound from him and give it to him who has ten pounds. 25 And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds. 26 For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
