Luke 19:20-25

20“Then the other servant said, ‘Sir, look! Here’s your coin. I’ve kept it in a cloth for safekeeping because

21I was afraid of you. You’re a tough person to get along with. You take what isn’t yours and harvest grain you haven’t planted.’

22“The king said to him, ‘I’ll judge you by what you’ve said, you evil servant! You knew that I was a tough person to get along with. You knew that I take what isn’t mine and harvest grain I haven’t planted.

23Then why didn’t you put my money in the bank? When I came back, I could have collected it with interest.’

24The king told his men, ‘Take his coin away, and give it to the man who has ten.’

25“They replied, ‘Sir, he already has ten coins.’
