For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

And unto one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightaway took his journey.

Then he that hath received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

And likewise, he that hath received two, he also gained other two.

But he that had received one and went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh and reckoned with them.

And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying Lord, thou delivered 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 the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold I have gained other two talents beside them.

His lord said unto him, well done my good and faithful servant; thou hast been been faithful over a few things, I will make thee a ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Then he which had received 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 I and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

His lord 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 have put my money to the exchangers, nd then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Take therefore the talent from him and give it to him that hath ten talents.

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he ahall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
