The parable of the gold coins. . .He [the prince] called ten of his servants and gave them ten coins. He told them, 'Invest this money until I come back.'
-Luke 19:13
And the servants who got the biggest returns got the most praise from the prince in the parable. OTOH, Jesus really lost it on those money changers in the temple (that was awesome!), so I guess the moral is that you have to keep your investments on the straight and narrow. ;-)
