Luke 19:24

James Moffatt - New Testament

Then he said to the bystanders, 'Take the five pounds from him and give it to the man with fifty.'

See the chapter Copy

So he summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Hand in your accounts; you cannot be factor any longer.'

But God said to him, 'Foolish man, this very night your soul is wanted; and who will get all you have prepared?'

He first called his ten servants, giving them each a five-pound note, and telling them, 'Trade with this till I come back.'

Why then did you not put my money into the bank, so that I could have got it with interest when I came back?'

'Sir,' they said, 'he has fifty already!'
