Matthew:25:14-30
rwbs@Matthew:25:14 @ For as a man travelling into a far country, called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
rwbs@Matthew:25:15 @ And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his own ability; and immediately took his journey. (note:)talents: a talent is one hundred and eighty seven pounds ten shillings(:note)
rwbs@Matthew:25:16 @ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and gained other five talents.
rwbs@Matthew:25:17 @ And likewise he that two, he also gained other two.
rwbs@Matthew:25:18 @ But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
rwbs@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
rwbs@Matthew:25:20 @ And he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents: behold, I have gained besides them five talents more.
rwbs@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
rwbs@Matthew:25:22 @ He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou didst deliver to me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents besides them.
rwbs@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
rwbs@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not scattered seed:
rwbs@Matthew:25:25 @ And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine.
rwbs@Matthew:25:26 @ His lord answered and said to him, wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:
rwbs@Matthew:25:27 @ Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money in the bank, and at my coming I should have received my own with interest.
rwbs@Matthew:25:28 @ Take therefore the talent from him, and give to him who hath ten talents.
rwbs@Matthew:25:29 @ For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
rwbs@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
