Matthew 25:24-27

24The servant who had received 1,000 gold coins then came to his master. The servant said, “Master, I know what you are like. You tell people what they should do all the time. You take food from fields where you did not put any seed in the ground. You get fruit from trees that you did not plant.

25So I was afraid of you. I went and I buried your gold coins in the ground. Look! Here they are. You can have your money back again.”

26The master said to him, “You are a bad and lazy servant. You know what I am like, do you? I get food from fields where I did not put any seeds. I get fruit from trees that I did not plant. You knew all that.

27So you should have put the money into a bank. Then, when I came home, I could have received my money back from the bank, with extra money.”
