21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest vp that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22And hee saith vnto him, Out of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, thou wicked seruant: Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking vp that I layde not downe, and reaping that I did not sow. 23Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the bancke, that at my comming I might haue required mine owne with vsury? 24And he said vnto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and giue it to him that hath ten pounds. 25And they said vnto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
