    14For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

    15And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

    16Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.

    17In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.

    18But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

    19Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.

    20And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.

    21His 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.

    22And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.

    23His 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.

    24And 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;

    25and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.

    26But 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;

    27thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.

    28Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.

    29For 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.

    30And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
