dby - Matthew:25:14-30

dby@Matthew:25:14 @ For [it is] as [if] a man going away out of a country called his own bondmen and delivered to them his substance.

dby@Matthew:25:15 @ And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each according to his particular ability, and immediately went away out of the country.

dby@Matthew:25:16 @ And he that had received the five talents went and trafficked with them, and made five other talents.

dby@Matthew:25:17 @ In like manner also he that [had received] the two, [he also] gained two others.

dby@Matthew:25:18 @ But he that had received the one went and dug in the earth, and hid the money of his lord.

dby@Matthew:25:19 @ And after a long time the lord of those bondmen comes and reckons with them.

dby@Matthew:25:20 @ And he that had received the five talents came to [him] and brought five other talents, saying, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents besides them.

dby@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter into the joy of thy lord.

dby@Matthew:25:22 @ And he also that had received the two talents came to [him] and said, [My] lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.

dby@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman, thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

dby@Matthew:25:24 @ And he also that had received the one talent coming to [him] said, [My] lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hadst not sowed, and gathering from where thou hadst not scattered,

dby@Matthew:25:25 @ and being afraid I went away and hid thy talent in the earth; behold, thou hast that which is thine.

dby@Matthew:25:26 @ And his lord answering said to him, Wicked and slothful bondman, thou knewest that I reap where I had not sowed, and gather from where I had not scattered;

dby@Matthew:25:27 @ thou oughtest then to have put my money to the money-changers, and when I came I should have got what is mine with interest.

dby@Matthew:25:28 @ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it to him that has the ten talents:

dby@Matthew:25:29 @ for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall be in abundance; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

dby@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast out the useless bondman into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
