Matthew:25:14-30
ukjv@Matthew:25:14 @ For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
ukjv@Matthew:25:15 @ And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and immediately took his journey.
ukjv@Matthew:25:16 @ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
ukjv@Matthew:25:17 @ And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
ukjv@Matthew:25:18 @ But he that had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
ukjv@Matthew:25:19 @ After a long time the lord of those servants comes, and reckons (o. logos) with them.
ukjv@Matthew:25:20 @ And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, you delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
ukjv@Matthew:25:21 @ His lord said unto him, Well done, you good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
ukjv@Matthew:25:22 @ He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
ukjv@Matthew:25:23 @ His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.
ukjv@Matthew:25:24 @ Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are an hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered:
ukjv@Matthew:25:25 @ And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, there you have that is yours.
ukjv@Matthew:25:26 @ His lord answered and said unto him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not scattered:
ukjv@Matthew:25:27 @ You ought therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with interest.
ukjv@Matthew:25:28 @ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which has ten talents.
ukjv@Matthew:25:29 @ For unto every one that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
ukjv@Matthew:25:30 @ And cast all of you the useless servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
