ry one had
gained by his traffic. (16)Then came the first, and said, Sir, thy
maneh has gained ten manehs. (17)And he said unto him, Well done, good
servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least matter, hold thou
dominion over ten cities. (18)And the second came, saying, Lord, thy
maneh hath gained five manehs. (19)Then said he also to this man, Be
thou also over five cities. (20)And another came, saying, Master, there
is thy maneh, which I have kept wrapt up in a napkin: (21)for I was
afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up where
thou hadst laid nothing down, and reapest where thou didst not sow.
(22)And he said to him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou
wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I

loose it? thus shall ye say to him, That the Lord hath need of him.
(32)Then they who were sent, going, found it just as he had described
to them. (33)And as they were untying the foal, the owners of it said
to them, Why loose ye the foal? (34)And they said, The Lord hath need
