21. For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
22. The king said to him, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked slave! So you knew, did you, that I was a severe man, withdrawing what I didn’t deposit and reaping what I didn’t sow?
23. Why then didn’t you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?’
24. And he said to his attendants, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has ten.’
25. But they said to him, ‘Sir, he has ten minas already!’
26. ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more, but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
27. But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and slaughter them in front of me!’”
28. After Jesus had said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29. Now when he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30. telling them, “Go to the village ahead of you. When you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32. So those who were sent ahead found it exactly as he had told them.
33. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?”
34. They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
