20 And another came and said: Lord, behold your pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man; you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.
22 Then he said to him: Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
23 And why then did you not put my money into the bank, that, when I came, I could have collected it with inter est?
24 And he said to those who stood by: Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
25 And they said to him: Lord, he has ten pounds.
26 For I say to you, To every one that has, it shall be given; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.
27 But those who are my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
