Matthew:25:14-30
asv@Matthew:25:14 @For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
asv@Matthew:25:15 @And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.
asv@Matthew:25:16 @Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents.
asv@Matthew:25:17 @In like manner he also that [received] the two gained other two.
asv@Matthew:25:18 @But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
asv@Matthew:25:19 @Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.
asv@Matthew:25:20 @And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents.
asv@Matthew:25:21 @His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
asv@Matthew:25:22 @And he also that [received] the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents.
asv@Matthew:25:23 @His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
asv@Matthew:25:24 @And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;
asv@Matthew:25:25 @and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
asv@Matthew:25:26 @But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;
asv@Matthew:25:27 @thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest.
asv@Matthew:25:28 @Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
asv@Matthew:25:29 @For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.
asv@Matthew:25:30 @And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
