St Luke 19:20-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

20. And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;

21. For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.

22. He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:

23. And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?

24. And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
