40:025:014 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods.
40:025:015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to every man according to his several ability;
and straightway took his journey.
40:025:016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
with the same, and made them other five talents.
40:025:017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
two.
40:025:018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
hid his lord's money.
40:025:019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them.
40:025:020 And so he that had received five talents came and brought
other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents
more.
40:025:021 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.
40:025:022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.
40:025:023 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
