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

    20And he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.

    21His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.

    22He also who had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.

    23His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.

    24Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

    25And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground; look, there you have what is yours.

    26But his lord answered and said to him, You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

    27Therefore, you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming, I would have received my own with interest.

    28Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

    29For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
