ability; and he went on his journey. Immediately the one who had
received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five
more talents. In the same manner the one who had received the two
talents gained two more. But he who received the one talent went away,
and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. “Now after a
long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with
them. The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five
more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I
have gained five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done,
good and faithful slave you were faithful with a few things, I will put
you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Also

entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’ His
master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were
faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things;

See, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered and said to him,
‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and
gather where I scattered no seed. ‘Then you ought to have put my money
in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with
interest. ‘Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the
one who has the ten talents.’ For to everyone who has, more shall be
given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not

weeping and gnashing of teeth.
