15And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
17And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
19And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
21for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
