The Parable of the Talents
Day:98/April8 kjv@Matthew:25:14-30
kjv@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. kjv@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 straightway took his journey. kjv@Matthew:25:16
@ Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. kjv@Matthew:25:17
@ And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. kjv@Matthew:25:18
@ But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. kjv@Matthew:25:19
@ After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. kjv@Matthew:25:20
@ And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. kjv@Matthew:25:21
@ His lord said unto him, Well done, thou 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. kjv@Matthew:25:22
@ He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. kjv@Matthew:25:23
@ His lord said unto 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. kjv@Matthew:25:24
@ Then he which 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 strawed: kjv@Matthew:25:25
@ And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. kjv@Matthew:25:26
@ 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 have not strawed: kjv@Matthew:25:27
@ Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. kjv@Matthew:25:28
@ Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. kjv@Matthew:25:29
@ For unto 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. kjv@Matthew:25:30
@ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
