nsb@Matthew:25:15 @ »To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one. He assigned according to the servants ability. Then he went on his journey.

nsb@Matthew:25:16 @ »Right away the servant who received the five talents traded with them and made another five talents.

nsb@Matthew:25:17 @ »In like manner, he who received the two gained another two.

nsb@Matthew:25:23 @ »His lord said: Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things. I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.

nsb@Matthew:25:25 @ »I was afraid, so I hid your talent in the earth. See, you have what is yours.

nsb@Matthew:25:26 @ »But his lord answered: You wicked and lazy servant. You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter.

nsb@Matthew:25:27 @ »You should have put my money in the bank. I should have received my money back plus interest.

nsb@Matthew:25:28 @ »Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.

nsb@Matthew:25:35 @ »I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you took me in.

nsb@Matthew:25:36 @ »I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me.

nsb@Matthew:25:37 @ »The righteous will answer him: Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

nsb@Matthew:25:38 @ »When did we see you as a stranger and take you in, or naked and dress you?

nsb@Matthew:25:39 @ »When did we see you sick or in prison and come to you?

nsb@Matthew:25:40 @ »The King will answer: To the extent that you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me.

nsb@Matthew:25:41 @ »Then he will tell those on his left: Depart from me, you cursed, into the ever-burning fire that is prepared for the Devil and his angels.

nsb@Matthew:25:42 @ »I was hungry and you did not feed me. I was thirsty and you did not give me drink.

nsb@Matthew:25:43 @ »I was a stranger and you did not take me in. I was naked and you did not dress me. I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.

nsb@Matthew:25:44 @ »They will also ask: Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison and not minister to you?

nsb@Matthew:25:45 @ »The King will answer: To the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of my brothers, you did not do it to me.

nsb@Matthew:25:46 @ »These will go away into ever-burning fire, but the righteous to everlasting life.«

nsb@Matthew:26:1 @ When Jesus had finished talking, he said to his disciples:

nsb@Matthew:26:2 @ »As you know, the Passover will be here in two days. At that time the Son of man will be captured and impaled.«
