19 E disse também a este: E tu [governarás] cinco cidades.

20 E veio outro, dizendo: Eis aqui tua mina, que guardei em um lenço.

21 Porque tive medo de ti, que és um homem rigoroso, que tomas o que não puseste, e colhes o que não semeaste.

22 Porém ele lhe disse: Servo mau, por tua boca eu te julgarei; tu sabias que eu era um homem rigoroso, que tomo o que não pus, e que colho o que não semeei;

23 Por que, então, não puseste meu dinheiro no banco; e quando eu viesse, o receberia de volta com juros?
