Context of Luke 19:23

21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow. 22And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow: Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest? 24And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25(And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
