    17And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

    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.

    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.
