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.
25. And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
