And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24
And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
25
and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26
But 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 did not scatter;
27
thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
28
Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
30
And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
31
But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:
32
and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;
