Context of Luke 19:24
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.’ The 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.’ 26“ ‘I can guarantee that everyone who has something will be given more. But everything will be taken away from those who don’t have much.
