Matthew 25 : 14 - 30
Chapter 25
14 | "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. |
15 | And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. |
16 | Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. |
17 | And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. |
18 | But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord's money. |
19 | After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. |
20 | "So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, "Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.' |
21 | His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' |
22 | He also who had received two talents came and said, "Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.' |
23 | His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' |
24 | "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, "Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. |
25 | And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.' |
26 | "But his lord answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. |
27 | So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. |
28 | So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. |
29 | "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. |
30 | And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' |
