Lamsa(i)
17 He said to him, O good servant, because you are found faithful in a little, you will have charge over ten talents. *
18 And the second came and said, My lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 He said to this one also, You also will have charge over five talents.
20 And another one came and said, My lord, here is your pound which was with me, which I kept laid up in a purse.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you pick up what you have not laid down, and you reap what you have not sown.
22 He said to him, I will judge you from your own mouth, O wicked servant. You knew me that I am a harsh man, and pick up what I have not laid down, and reap what I have not sown.
23 Why then did you not give my money to the exchange, so that when I came I could demand it with its interest?
24 And he said to those who stood in his presence, Take away the pound from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.
25 They said to him, Our lord, he has already with him ten pounds.
26 He said to them, I say to you, to everyone who has shall be given; and from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
