    19 After a long time, the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

    20 The servant who had received five talents came and brought five more, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted me with five talents; see, I have gained five more.’

    21 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’

    22 The servant who had received two talents also came and said, ‘Master, you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.’

    23 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’

    24 Then the servant who had received one talent came and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

    25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’

    26 His master answered, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered.
