Luke 19:16-26

16And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

17And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

18And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

19And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.

20And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

21For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

22He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

23And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

24And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.

25And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

26For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.
