Luke 19:17-26 He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds. ¹⁹ He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns. ²⁰ And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen. ²¹ For I was afraid of thee, because thou art a hard man, and takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou sowedst not. ²² He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not! ²³ Why didst thou not put my money into the broker's hands, that when I came, I might have demanded it with interest? ²⁴ And he said to them that stood before him: Take from him the pound, and give it to him with whom are the ten pounds. ²⁵ They say to him: Our lord, there are with him ten pounds. ²⁶ He said to them: I tell you, that to every one that hath, will be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.
