Matthew 25:14, 19, 22, 24, 26, 28

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’

“Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

“But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
