"He also that had received two talents came and said, `Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.'
23
His lord said unto him, `Well done, good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.'
24
"Then he that 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 strewed.
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth. Lo, there thou hast what is thine.'
26
His lord answered and said unto him, `Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strewed.
27

28

29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not, shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into 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 shall He 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 divideth his sheep from the goats.
