The parable of the talents (2/2)
~
>After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,
>and reckoneth with them.
~
>And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents,
>saying,
>Lord,
>thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
>behold,
>I have gained beside them five talents more.
~
>His lord said unto him,
>Well done,
>thou good and faithful servant:
>thou hast been faithful over a few things,
>I will make thee ruler over many things:
>enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
~
>He also that had received two talents came and said,
>Lord,
>thou deliveredst unto me two talents:
>behold,
>I have gained two other talents beside them.
~
>His lord said unto him,
>Well done,
>good and faithful servant;
>thou hast been faithful over a few things,
>I will make thee ruler over many things:
>enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
~
>Then he which had received the one talent came and said,
>Lord,
>I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
>reaping where thou hast not sown,
>and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
>And I was afraid,
>and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
>lo,
>there thou hast that is thine.
~
>His lord answered and said unto him,
>Thou wicked and slothful servant,
>thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not,
>and gather where I have not strawed:
~
>Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers,
>and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
>Take therefore the talent from him,
>and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
~
>For unto every one that hath shall be given,
>and he shall have abundance:
~
>but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
>And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
~
>there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
