12 And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves?
Luke 16:12 Cross References - Living_Oracles
Matthew 25:14-29
14 For the Son of Man is like one who intending to travel, called his servants, and committed to them his stock;
15 to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his respective ability, and immediately set out.
16 Then he who had received the five talents, went and traded with them, and gained five others.
17 Likewise he who had received two, gained other two.
18 Whereas he who had received but one, digged a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 After a long time, their master returned and reckoned with them.
20 Then he who had received the five talents, came and presented five other talents, saying, Sir, you delivered to me five talents; here they are, and five other talents which I have gained.
21 His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
22 He, also, who had received the two talents, advancing said, Sir, you delivered to me two talents: here they are, and two other talents which I have gained.
23 His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy.
24 Then came he also who had received the talent, and said, Sir, I know that you are a severe man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered;
25 being therefore afraid, I hid your talent under ground; but now I restore you your own.
26 His master answering, said to him, Malignant and slothful servant, did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered?
27 Should you not then have given my money to the bankers, that, at my return, I might have received it with interest?
28 Take from him, therefore, the talent, and give it to him who has ten:
29 for to every one that has, more shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
Luke 10:42
42 One thing only is necessary. And Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.
Luke 19:13-26
13 and having called ten of his servants, and delivered to them ten pounds, he said, improve these till I return.
14 Now his citizens hated him; and sending an embassy after him, protested, We will not have this man for our king.
15 When he returned, vested with royal power, he commanded those servants to be called to whom he had committed the money, that he might know what every one had gained.
16 Then the first came, and said, My Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
17 He answered, Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very small matter, receive the government of ten cities.
18 And the second who came, said, My Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 He answered, Be you also governor of five cities.
20 Another came, saying, My Lord, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a hard master; you exact what you did not give, and reap what you did not sow.
22 He answered, Out of your own mouth, you malignant servant, I will condemn you. Did you know that I am a hard master, exacting what I did not give, and reaping what I did not sow?
23 Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank; that at my return I might have received it with interest?
24 Then he said to his attendants, Take the pound from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.
25 They answered, My Lord, he has ten pounds.
26 He replied, I tell you, that to every one who has, more shall be given; but from him who has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
