In Luke 19:13, the master commanded servants to 'engage in business' — the servant in v.20 hid the mina, directly disobeying that command.

Luke 6:46 questions calling 'Lord, Lord' without doing what He says — the servant calls the master 'Lord' yet fails to obey his business command.

Luke 3:9 warns that trees not bearing good fruit are cut down — the servant's hidden mina produced no fruit, inviting judgment.

Luke 16:1 introduces another steward who wastes his master's goods — a different failure of stewardship, not hiding but mismanaging.

Matthew 25:24 records the same third servant saying 'I knew you were a hard man' — the identical excuse and outcome in the parallel talent parable.

James 4:17 says knowing the right thing and not doing it is sin — the servant knew to do business (v.13) but didn't, making his inaction sinful.

Matthew 25:18 parallels this servant hiding his talent in the earth — both parables describe a fearful, unfaithful steward.

Proverbs 26:13-16 describes a sluggard making excuses and thinking himself wise — the servant's excuse for hiding the mina mirrors the sluggard's folly.
