King James Version with Apocrypha
"Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury."
— Matthew 25:27, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.”
“thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. ”
“You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.”
“Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest!”
“Thou oughtest therefore to have committed my money to the bankers: and at my coming I should have received my own with usury.”
“Why, then, did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I would have got back what is mine with interest?”
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
