he also that had received two talents, came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents: here are two other talents which I have gain'd besides them.

then came he who had received the one talent, and said, Lord, I knew that you were a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered:

Matthew 25:25

fear made me hide the talent under ground: but there you have what is your own.

Matthew 25:26

his lord answered and said unto him, thou vile slothful wretch, you knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not scatter'd:
