20. “Then another servant came in and said to the king, ‘Sir, here is your coin which I wrapped in a piece of cloth and hid.
21. I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You even take money that you didn’t earn and gather food that you didn’t plant.’
22. Then the king said to the servant, ‘I will condemn you by your own words, you evil servant. You knew that I am a hard man, taking money that I didn’t earn and gathering food that I didn’t plant.
23. Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank? Then when I came back, my money would have earned some interest.’
24. “The king said to the men who were standing by, ‘Take the coin away from this servant and give it to the servant who earned ten coins.’
25. They said, ‘But sir, that servant already has ten coins.’
