Matthew 25:14- 30- “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who
called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he
gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according
to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five
talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five
talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents
more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the
ground and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the
master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing
five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents;
here, I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well
done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a
little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ And
he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you
delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ His
master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have
been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy
of your master.’ He also who had received the one talent came
forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered
no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the
ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him,
‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have
not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to
have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I
should have received what was my own with interest. So take the
talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to
everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an
abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be
taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness.
In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
