    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.

    30And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    31When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

    17And he said to him, Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in very little, have authority over ten cities.

    18And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.

    19And he said likewise to him, Be also over five cities.

    20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin.

    21For I feared you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.

    22And he said to him, Out of your own mouth I will judge you, wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
