His master answered, and said unto him: evil servant and slothful, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not:
Then the Lord called him, and said unto him. O evil servant, I forgave thee all that debt, be cause thou praydest me:
Many of the people spread their garments in the way. Other cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
¶ He which had received the one talent came also, and said: master, I considered that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not,
and was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
thou oughtest therefore to have had my money to the changers, and then at my coming should I have received my money with vantage.
