Luke 19:20-25

20Then another servant came. He said, “Master, here is your money. I put it away in a piece of cloth to keep it safe.

21I did this because I was afraid of you. You tell people what they should do all the time. You take things that you did not work for. You take food from fields where you did not plant any seed.”

22The king replied, “You are a very bad servant! I will use your own words to show you that you have done the wrong thing. You say that I tell people what they should do all the time. That I take things that I did not work for. That I take food from fields where I did not plant any seed. Did you know all that about me?

23Then you should have put my money into the bank. When I came home, I would have received my money back, with extra money.”

24Some other servants were standing near to their master. He said to them, “Take the money from this bad servant. Give it to the servant that has ten pounds.”

25“But, master,” they replied, “that servant has ten pounds already.”
