Matthew 25:14-30
“For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and
entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another
two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went
away. At once the one who had received the five talents went off
and traded with them and made five more talents. In the same way,
the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the
one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the

knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow and
gathering where you did not scatter, so I was afraid, and I went and
hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his
master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that
I reap where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter? Then
you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my
return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take
the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all
those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance,
but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken
away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the
