17and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
18`And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
19and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
20`And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22`And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
