And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.
And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!
And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.
And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.
And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
