[14] For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them [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. [16] he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and them other five talents. [17] likewise he that had received two, gained other two. [18] But he that had received one went and digged the earth, and his lord's money. [19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. [20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst five talents: I have gained five talents more. [21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: faithful over a few things, ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy lord. [22] He also two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst two talents: I have gained two other talents [23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; faithful over a few things, ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy lord. [24] Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that an hard man, reaping where not sown, and gathering where not strawed: [25] And I was afraid, and went and hid talent in the earth: 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 not strawed: [27] oughtest therefore to have put 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 weeping and gnashing of teeth. [31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all 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 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. [34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed Father, inherit the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world: [35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave meat: I was thirsty, and drink: a stranger, and in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed I was sick, and ye visited in prison, and ye came unto [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed [39] Or when or in prison, and came unto [40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least brethren, ye have done [41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave no meat: I was thirsty, and no drink: [43] a stranger, and not in: naked, and ye clothed not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited not. [44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and not minister [45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least ye did it not
