Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee.

shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?

It was the equivalent of sixty years of a farm laborer's wages, or about $750,000 in income]. He gave two talents to another servant and one talent to another. He gave to each one an amount in keeping with his ability [to invest it wisely], and then left on his trip.

The servant who had got the twelve hundred pounds went at once and traded with them, making another twelve hundred.

Similarly the servant who had got the five hundred pounds made another five hundred.

But the servant who had got the two hundred and fifty pounds went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

Then the servant who had got the twelve hundred pounds came forward, bringing twelve hundred more; he said, 'You handed me twelve hundred pounds, sir; here I have gained another twelve hundred.'

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
