Matthew 25:21-29

Living_Oracles(i) 21 His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy. 22 He, also, who had received the two talents, advancing said, Sir, you delivered to me two talents: here they are, and two other talents which I have gained. 23 His master answered, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in a small matter, I will give you a more important trust. Partake you of your master's joy. 24 Then came he also who had received the talent, and said, Sir, I know that you are a severe man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered; 25 being therefore afraid, I hid your talent under ground; but now I restore you your own. 26 His master answering, said to him, Malignant and slothful servant, did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered? 27 Should you not then have given my money to the bankers, that, at my return, I might have received it with interest? 28 Take from him, therefore, the talent, and give it to him who has ten: 29 for to every one that has, more shall be given, and he shall abound; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken.
