Jesus Christ » Parables of » The talents
For, as a man going abroad called his servants, and delivered to them his estates; to one he gave five talents [$5,000], to another two [$2,000], and to another one [$1,000]; to each according to his ability, and immediately went abroad. And he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five; read more.
in like manner, also, he that received the two gained two others; but he that received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his lord's money. And after a long time the lord of those servants came, and had a settlement with them. And he that received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, Lord, you committed to me five talents; behold, I have gained five other talents. His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. And he that received the two talents also came to him and said, Lord, you committed to me two talents; behold, I have gained two others. His Lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few [talents], I will place you over many: enter into the joy of your lord. And he that received the one talent also came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sowed, and gathering where you have not scattered, and being afraid I went away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is yours. And his Lord answered and said to him, Evil and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather whence I have not scattered? And you ought then to have given my money to the brokers, and at my coming, I should have received my own with interest. Take his talent, therefore, from him, and give it to him that has ten talents; for to every one that has shall be given, and he shall have an abundance; but from him that has not, even what he has shall be taken away; and cast the unprofitable servant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
