4	And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].

Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business.	“He was made king, however, and returned home.

You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’	I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’
22	He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.	He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant!
