18 Also, the second slave came, saying, ‘Your mina, Master, made five.’
19 Then he also said to this one, ‘You are likewise over five cities.’
20 But another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina. I was keeping it safe in a handkerchief,
21 for I was afraid of you because you are a strict man. You take what you did not make and reap what you did not sow.’
22 He said to him, ‘By the words of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked slave! You knew that I am strict, taking what I did not make and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Then why didn’t you put my money in the bank, so that when I came back I could have collected it with interest?’
24 Then to the bystanders he said, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
