# 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
|
|
|
|
The words "reap where I have not sowed" and "harvest where I have not scattered" mean the same thing. They refer to a farmer who gathers crops that other people have planted. The servant uses this metaphor to accuse the master of taking what rightfully belongs to others. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# scatter

|
In those days people often threw small amounts of seed around instead of planting the seeds in rows.

# See, you have here what belongs to you
|

"Look, here is what is yours"
