(And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
