Matthew 25:26-36

26 `You wicked, lazy servant!' said his master, `So you knew, did you, that I harvest where I haven't planted? and that I gather where I didn't sow seed?
27 Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, so that when I returned, I would at least have gotten back interest with my capital!
28 Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten.
29 For everyone who has something will be given more, so that he will have more than enough; but from anyone who has nothing, even what he does have will be taken away.
30 As for this worthless servant, throw him out in the dark, where people will wail and grind their teeth!'
31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, accompanied by all the angels, he will sit on his glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates sheep from goats.
33 The `sheep' he will place at his right hand and the `goats' at his left.
34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you made me your guest,
36 I needed clothes and you provided them, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.'
