21. for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22. `And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23. and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
24. `And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds--
25. (and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) --
26. for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
27. but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
28. And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29. And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30. having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];
31. and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him-- The Lord hath need of it.'
32. And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,
33. and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, `Why loose ye the colt?'
34. and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;'
35. and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
36. And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
37. and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38. saying, `blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'
