22
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful slave; thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24
Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown and gathering where thou hast not scattered;
25
therefore, I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast what is thine.
26
His lord answered and said unto him,
Thou wicked and slothful slave, thou knewest that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I have not scattered;
27
therefore, it was expedient for thee to have put my money to the bankers, and
then at my coming I should have received mine own with interest.
28
Take, therefore, the talent from him and give
it unto him who has ten talents.
29
For unto every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance, but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable slave into the outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31
When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him, then he shall sit upon the throne of his glory,
32
and before him shall be gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divides
his sheep from the goats,
