Luke 19:20-25

20Then another slave came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina that I put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.

21For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’

22The king said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow?

23Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’

24And he said to his attendants, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has ten.’

25But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas already!’
