Likewise the one having received two gained two others. And he having received one, having gone away, digged up the earth, and buried the money belonging to his lord. And after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes a reckoning with them. And the one having received the five talents coming to him brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me five talents: behold, I have gained other five talents. His lord said to him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou wast faithful over few things, and I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord. And the one having received two talents, coming to him, said, Lord, thou didst deliver unto me two talents: behold, I have gained other two talents. And his lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: come thou into the joy of thy lord. And the one having received one talent also coming, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strewn: and being afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine own. And his Lord responding said to him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, didst thou know that I gather where I have not sown, and reap where I have not strewn? Therefore it behooved thee to put my money in the bank, and having come, I would receive my own with the product. Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to the one having ten talents. For to every one having it shall be given, and he shall superabound: but from the one not having shall be taken away even that which he has. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the darkness which is without: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
