19 Il lui dit: Toi aussi, sois établi sur cinq villes.

20 Un autre vint, et dit: Seigneur, voici ta mine, que j’ai gardée dans un linge;

21 car j’avais peur de toi, parce que tu es un homme sévère; tu prends ce que tu n’as pas déposé, et tu moissonnes ce que tu n’as pas semé.

22 Il lui dit:Je te juge sur tes paroles, méchant serviteur; tu savais que je suis un homme sévère, prenant ce que je n’ai pas déposé, et moissonnant ce que je n’ai pas semé;

23 pourquoi donc n’as-tu pas mis mon argent dans une banque, afin qu’à mon retour je le retirasse avec un intérêt?
