[It is] enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household?

So the slaves of the master of the house came [and] said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have darnel?'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few [things]; I will put you [in charge] over many [things]. Enter into the joy of your master!'

"A disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor a slave superior to his master.

And he said to them, "For this [reason] every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of the house who brings out of his storeroom new [things] and old [things]."

So she said, "Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."

And [because] he did not have [enough] to repay [it], the master ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children and everything that he had, and to be repaid.

So the master of that slave, [because he] had compassion, released him and forgave him the loan.

So [when] his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were extremely distressed, and went [and] reported to their master everything that had happened.

Then his master summoned him [and] said to him, 'Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you implored me!

And [because he] was angry, his master handed him over to the merciless jailers until he would repay everything that was owed.

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a man--the master of the house--who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

And [when they] received [it], they began to complain against the master of the house,

"Listen to another parable: There was a man--a master of a house--who planted a vineyard, and put a fence [around] it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.

Now when the master of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those tenant farmers?"

But understand this: that if the master of the house had known what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.

"Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their food at the right time?

Blessed [is] that slave whom his master will find so doing [when he] comes back.

But if that evil slave should say {to himself}, 'My master is staying away for a long time,'

the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and at an hour that he does not know,

But the one who had received the one went away [and] dug up the ground and hid his master's money.

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

And the one who had received the five talents came up [and] brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you handed over to me five talents. See, I have gained five more talents!'

And the one [who had] the two talents also came up [and] said, 'Master, you handed over to me two talents. See, I have gained two talents more!'

And the one who had received the one talent came up also [and] said, 'Master, [because I] knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering from where you did not scatter [seed].

But his master answered [and] said to him, 'Evil and lazy slave! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter [seed].
