- Luke 19:21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You withdraw what you did not deposit and reap what you did not sow.’
- Luke 19:22And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words.
