Luke 19:21-23

New Life Version

²¹ I was afraid of you. You are a hard man. You take what you have not put down. You gather where you have not planted.’ ²² The king said to him, ‘By the words from your own mouth I must say that you are guilty. You are a sinful servant. You knew I was a hard man. You knew I take what I have not put down. You knew I gather where I have not planted. ²³ Why did you not put my money in the bank? Then when I came back I could have had my own money and what the bank paid for using it.’
