Luke 19:17-26 And he said to him, Well done, thou good servant, as thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt be governor over ten cities.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And he said to him, Well done, thou good servant, as thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt be governor over ten cities. ¹⁸ And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds: ¹⁹ and he said to this likewise, Be thou also over five cities. ²⁰ And another came, and said, Behold, my Lord, thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: ²¹ for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man, who takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow. ²² But he said to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant, Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow; ²³ and why then didst thou not put my money into the bank, that when I came I might have received it with interest? ²⁴ And he said to them that stood by, Take away the pound from him, and give it to him that hath the ten pounds. ²⁵ (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds already:) ²⁶ for I tell you, that to every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even what he seemingly hath shall be taken away.
