Luke 19:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²¹ for I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you take what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’^{(A) 22} He said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! You knew, did you, that I was a harsh man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?^{(B) 23} Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank? Then when I returned, I could have collected it with interest.’
