Luke 19:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹ I was afraid of you because you are a hard man. You even take money that you didn’t earn and gather food that you didn’t grow.’

²² “Then the king said to him, ‘What a bad servant you are! I will use your own words to condemn you. You said that I am a hard man. You said that I even take money that I didn’t earn and gather food that I didn’t grow. ²³ If that is true, you should have put my money in the bank. Then, when I came back, my money would have earned some interest.’
