Yet JESUS tells of a man who went into a far country and left management of his businesses to three servants.
When he got back, two of the servants had doubled the money. The third did not and the owner says the servant should have took the money to the changers so he would have gotten an INCREASE with usury.

What Jesus was saying for him to do was equivalent of putting the money in a CD at a bank. Not to go borrow money he didn’t have because he was already in over his head.

That’s a real stretch to interpret that parable in such a way , especially when compared to the rest of scripture.
