Matthew 25:14
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.
2 I
MC

Matthew 25:15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
2 I
MC

Matthew 25:17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

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.

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:
MC
VC
Matthew 25:25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
MC
VC
Matthew 25:26
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:
MC
VC
Matthew 25:27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
MC
VC
Matthew 25:28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
MC

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.
