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

“For it is like a man about to go on a journey. He called his own servants and handed over his possessions to them.

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

“The one who had received the two talents also came up and said, ‘Master, you handed me two talents. Look, I’ve gained two more.’

“Then the one who had received the one talent also came up and said, ‘Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.

“But his master responded, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow and gather where I scattered no seed?

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