Raw Blame History

Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues telling the parable about the servants and the talents. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parables and rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-bmoney)

You reap where you did not sow, and you harvest where you did not scatter

These two statements mean the same thing. They refer to a farmer who gathers crops that do not belong to him. The servant uses this metaphor to accuse the master of being a ruthless businessman. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

scatter

In those days they often threw small amounts of seed around instead of planting in rows.

See, you have here what belongs to you

"Look, here is what is yours"
