He said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound from him and give it to the one who has ten pounds.’
But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’
So he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management because you cannot be my manager any longer.’
He summoned ten of his slaves and gave them ten pounds and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.’
Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’
(And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds!’)
