Luke 19:23
With usury? - ͅ , With its produce, i.e. what the loan of the money is fairly worth, after paying the person sufficiently for using it: for, in lent money, both the lender and borrower are supposed to reap profit.
21 aFor I feared you, because you are1 an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
22 And he said to him, a‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. bYou knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’
25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)
