[13] And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy I come. [14] But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, not have man to reign over [15] And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much had gained by trading. [16] Then came the first, saying, Lord, pound hath gained ten pounds. [17] And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have over ten cities. [18] And the second came, saying, Lord, pound hath gained five pounds. [19] And he said likewise Be thou also over five cities. [20] And another came, saying, Lord, behold, pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: [21] For I feared because an austere man: thou takest up that not down, and reapest that not sow. [22] he saith unto him, Out of mouth will I judge thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that not down, and reaping that not sow: [23] then not thou money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? [24] And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. [25] (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
