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.

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.
