20. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
21. for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22. He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow;
23. then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
