28 "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. See, here is what belongs to you.' 26 "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. Come and share your master's happiness!' 24 "Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents see, I have gained two more.' 23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' 22 "The man with the two talents also came. See, I have gained five more.' 21 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. 20 The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 19 "After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 18 But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. 17 So also, the one with the two talents gained two more. 16 The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more. 15 To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. 14 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.
