tcent@Matthew:25:14 @ »For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.
tcent@Matthew:25:15 @ To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
tcent@Matthew:25:16 @ He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more.
tcent@Matthew:25:17 @ So also, he who had the two talents gained two more.
tcent@Matthew:25:18 @ But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground, and hid his masters money.
tcent@Matthew:25:19 @ Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
tcent@Matthew:25:20 @ So he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Master, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents.
tcent@Matthew:25:21 @ His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.
tcent@Matthew:25:22 @ He also who had received the two talents came and said, Master, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents.
tcent@Matthew:25:23 @ His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.
tcent@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
tcent@Matthew:25:25 @ So I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.
tcent@Matthew:25:26 @ But his master answered him, You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed?
tcent@Matthew:25:27 @ Then you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
tcent@Matthew:25:28 @ Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
tcent@Matthew:25:29 @ For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
tcent@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
