pounds.

19:17. And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou
hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.

19:18. And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds.

19:19. And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.

19:20. And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I
have kept laid up in a napkin.

19:21. For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest
up what thou didst not lay down: and thou reapest that which thou didst
not sow.

19:22. He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked
servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid
not down and reaping that which I did not sow.

19:23. And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at

Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

19:31. And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say
thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.

19:32. And they that were sent went their way and found the colt

19:33. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to
them: Why loose you the colt?

19:34. But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.

19:35. And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the
colt, they set Jesus thereon.

19:36. And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
