Luke 19:17-26 And he said to him, Well done, good servant! because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And he said to him, Well done, good servant! because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities. ¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. ¹⁹ And he said also to this servant, And be thou over five cities. ²⁰ And another came, saying, Lord, behold thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin. ²¹ For I feared thee, because thou art a harsh man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow. ²² He saith to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked servant! thou knewest that I was a harsh man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow; ²³ why then didst thou not put my money into a bank? Then I at my coming might have received it back with interest. ²⁴ And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds. ²⁵ (And they said to him, He hath ten pounds, Lord.) ²⁶ I say to you, that to every one who hath, will be given; but from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.
