Luke 19:25
23 Why then did you not deposit my money in the bank, and upon my return I could have collected it with interest?’
24 Then he told those standing by, ‘Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’
‘Master,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’
26 He replied, ‘I tell you that everyone who has will be given more; but the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27 And these enemies of mine who were unwilling for me to rule over them, bring them here and slay them in front of me.’”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
