Matthew 25:22-33
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
-
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
-
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:
-
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.
-
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
-
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.
-
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
-
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
-
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
-
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
