Matthew 25:19-33

[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  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.
