Luke 19:24

New International Version

“Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

See the chapter Copy

So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

“ ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
