You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
025:022 "He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord,
you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained
another two talents besides them.'
025:023 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.
You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
025:024 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew
you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow,
and gathering where you did not scatter.
025:025 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth.
Behold, you have what is yours.'
025:026 "But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant.
You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where
I didn't scatter.
025:027 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers,
and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
025:028 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him
who has the ten talents.
025:029 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance,
but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will

025:033 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats
on the left.
025:034 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come,
blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world;
025:035 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty,
and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
025:036 naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me;
