The king told those who were standing beside him, ‘Take the money away from him, and give it to the one who made ten times as much.’
But God said to him, ‘You foolish man! Your life will be demanded back this very night, and then who will get everything you've stored up?’
So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’
Why then didn't you deposit my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest?’
‘But master, he already has ten times as much,’ they replied.
