And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not, and gather where I have not strewed:
Then his lord called him; and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me:
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown, and gatherest where thou hast not strewed.
And being afraid I went and hid thy talent in the earth: behold here thou hast that which is thine.
Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.
