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

“For it is like a man going into another country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them.

“Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.

“He also who got the two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents in addition to them.’

“He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you didn’t scatter.

“But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.

Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
